Help for parents that tackles the real causes of childhood obesity
and offers practical solutions. The percentage of overweight
children between the ages of six and seventeen in the United States
has doubled over the past three decades. Why Can't My Child Stop
Eating? offers real-world solutions to the social, emotional, and
physical problems of these children and their families. With the
ever-growing childhood obesity problem, the audience for this book
continues to grow. Practical: Why Can't My Child Stop Eating?
provides parents with specific activities to assist in addressing
and healing the emotional aspects of obesity. Currently, there is
no book on the market that provides assistance in dealing with the
emotional issues of obesity. Why Can't My Child Stop Eating? is the
only publication to offer an emotional recovery plan for children.
Since emotional eating is the main cause of childhood obesity, this
will be an easily-proven yet important distinguishing factor in the
book's marketing. Dr. Danowski will tap into media outlets that
have previously interviewed her or listed her books as resources.
For example, Why Can't I Stop Eating? is listed as a resource at
Mountain Lakes PBS station, on the Novia Scotia newspaper The
Aurora's website, and on the Health Magazine section of Channel 4's
website. The few books that mention the emotional aspects of
obesity do so briefly or as a means of rallying parental support to
assist in promoting body and size acceptance but not as a means of
helping children lose weight. This book offers real solutions to
the national health problem of this epidemic.
This edited collection explores the malleability and influence of
body image, focusing particularly on how media representation and
popular culture's focus on the body exacerbates the crucial social
influence these representations can have on audiences' perceptions
of themselves and others. Contributors investigate the cultural
context and lived experiences of individuals' relationships with
their bodies, going beyond examination of the thin, ideal body type
to explore the emerging representations and portrayals of a diverse
set of body types across the media spectrum, paving the way for
future research on this topic. Scholars of media studies, popular
culture, and health communication will find this book particularly
useful.
Debbie Danowski weighed in at more than 300 pounds. Years of trying
every diet program imaginable left her feeling exhausted,
miserable, and hopeless. By realizing the connections between food
and emotions, she learned to overcome her food addiction. Now, The
Emotional Eater's Book of Inspiration offers the tips that helped
her lose more than 160 pounds -- and keep them off for the past
seventeen years. One of the biggest hurdles to weight loss and
continued success in food-addiction recovery is denial. The
Emotional Eater's Book of Inspiration helps you confront your own
"fat lies" by providing 90 essential truths, such as: - You won't
lose one ounce of weight by talking about it. - Dieting is not a
competitive sport. - Cleaning your plate will not feed one starving
child. - "Free" foods are too expensive. Touching on common
challenges faced by everyone who's wrestled with emotional eating
and food addiction, Debbie Danowski empowers you to manage your
emotional connections to food, giving you the tools to achieve
long-term success.
