Therapists Kathleen Burns Kingsbury and Mary Ellen Williams have treated hundreds of people with eating disorders in their many years of practice, from slender seven-year old Madeline who 'feels fat', to Clare, an overwhelmed mother who can only cope with stress by bingeing three times a day.
In Weight Wisdom, they draw on their vast experience to illuminate a clear and practical path to recovery, offering a unique collection of daily affirmations that focus on the irrational beliefs, thoughts, and fears behind eating disordered behaviour. In this powerful guide, Kingsbury and Williams equip readers with simple reflections, vignettes, and everyday analogies that they have successfully used with their own clients to counter destructive feelings and shatter distorted ideas of food and weight. Pithy and positive statements replace compulsive, perfectionist rules with new strategies to cope with blame, guilt, vulnerability, and self-criticism. Concrete activities help people with eating problems get off the scale, get in touch with their feelings, and make friends with their bodies. Written by experienced therapists who understand the needs and fears of people with eating problems, the book is a refreshing guide to lasting change and recovery.

TRIUMPH is an inspiring true-life story of a girl from a small town
who became a world renowned legend. It begins in a time and place
where women had few options and sports were a man's world. As a
child Kay loved playing basketball but like many young women of

encouragement of her parents and principal, she changed her
expectations and raised the bar on what women could accomplish. Kay
defied these limitations to become a successful Basketball coach, a
hall of fame inductee, and an Olympic gold coach. With her many
successes there would be even bigger challenges. Her fiercest
opponent would become her ongoing battle with breast cancer. Coach
Yow faced these trials head on with grace, dignity, and her deep
faith. Kay's love of people, her sense of humor, and her undying
hope were contagious. She believed "When Life Kicks You, Let it
Kick You Forward." This story will inspire you, give hope to you
and let you find the hidden hero within yourself.
