Written by someone who has 'been there, done that.' According to
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity
affects over 33 percent of Americans-that's one third of adults.
Medical costs associated with obesity are estimated at $147 billion
and obese adults are at a higher risk for coronary heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, liver and Gallbladder
disease, and respiratory problems. In From Bagels to Buddha, a
successful therapist, renowned for her work with addictive and
obese families, uses her own story to illustrate her message that a
spiritual life is the key to sustaining weight loss and ending food
obsessions. Dr. Hollis tells us that the path to permanent weight
loss has little to do with what you are eating or what's eating
you, but rather involves changing how you behave, how you interact
with others, how you face your own dark side, and ultimately how
you accept life on life's terms. Only then will you start eating to
nurture your true inner being and only then will enough ever be
enough. Written in an unexpectedly witty and self-depricating
style, Dr. Hollis recounts some humbling learning experiences, such
as her nerve-racking first appearance on Oprah that caused her to
vow never to do TV again, and an uncomfortable stay at a Buddhist
Monastery, where she had finagled her way into the last week of a
three-week meditation workshop. Her story entertains with many more
comical moments, even as it tackles a serious, sometimes
life-or-death subject.
