by Julie North Schwarz, Kenneth Schwarz PhD

Overview

This is a novel of passionate weight loss. It's a story for any woman who has trouble dieting. It's for those who can't stay on a diet; it's for those who stay on but at some point gain it all back. It's for those who keep trying and failing; it's for those who keep dreaming about losing weight; it's for those who have given up the dream and want it back.

Women will Love the experience of reading about Maria. They will take away this important idea: It is not the diet that matters most. What really counts is paying attention to the psychological side of things.

People usually think of dieting in terms of smaller food portions, exercise and keeping track of one's fat intake. But there's one more factor that goes into a healthy body--and it's not one that many people take into consideration, even though it's arguably the most important. It's one's state of mind.

Written as a novel, the book gives readers a character with whom they can emotionally identify--an "everywoman".
