Sullivan - registered dietitian, she penned Stop Lying to try and
help others struggling with weight and food issues to find their
own path towards truly overcoming those issues. Midwest Book
Reviews says: In the beginning of this read you will meet three
woman, Deborah, Arlene and Kelly. These three woman teamed up to
write a book about weight loss. I know, there are many books out
there on this subject, but not one quite like this. Besides having
background and knowledge in this area, our ladies give you
something special and that is truth and hope. They share with you
their struggles, their victories, their failures and their
knowledge in this long going battle that so many of us face. We all
know that maintaining a proper weight is vital to our health and
our entire life, but for most of us it is a struggle just to
balance all the other arrows coming our way. How are we suppose to
take the time to figure this out as well, and why should we? After
all, don't we deserve that big piece of cake or large helping of
that very calorie filled plate of food set before us. We work hard,
we take care of our families, we hold down jobs and wear more hats
than anyone could imagine. But if the truth be known, everyone
would be much happier if they were not carrying around more weight
than their frames can handle.So what is the answer. The ladies have
taken this question to task. They have each contributed within the
pages of this book their story, their secrets and shared them with
the reader on a one to one personal level. I liked how Arlene tells
us right from the start that we have value, we are wise and
wonderful. And I had to giggle when I read to get on the scale and
see what the numbers read, and take off your cloths and have a good
look. Horrors Also when Deborah asks us to confront the lies we
tell ourselves and that we had to learn to live differently, that
really hit home. Arlene shares with us to become aware of feelings
we have and how food can be our comfort. I sure know that feeling,
as I'm sure that most of you do as well. I really liked the part
where Deborah talks about saying something and meaning it. She
gives a section titled: "My Manifesto For A Healthy Life." It's
like a confession page, and truly what we speak forth over and over
again, we will begin to believe. They are constructive confessions
such as: I will plan and think before I eat; I will love myself
now, not wait until I'm thin, and many more. However my favorite
part is: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.."...
Deborah explains in this part of the book that everyone has
problems so thinking that becoming thin will solve all your
problems is not wisdom. Also in this section she gives us some
Public Enemies; Example: Public Enemy #1 The Grocery Store. Ah I
bet you didn't know that was your enemy There is so much
information, wisdom and encouragement in this book that I could
write a several page review, but I will end here. If you really
want to read a no nonsense approach to weight loss, with a deep
personal touch that expands in so many areas this book is for you.
These ladies know what they are talking about, they live what they
preach and you can tell through their words that their desire is to
reach out and help others. It is interesting and refreshing, will
make you giggle at times and sigh at others. Their approach to this
subject is personal, from them to you and you will truly feel their
hearts reaching out to help you achieve your goal. There is no
condemnation for being overweight, only the encouragement of going
to where you want to be to walk in the health and vitality that
should be yours. Recommended, great job. Shirley Johnson/Senior
