The authors help dispel the myth that if you change your shape you will change your life. 'If I were thinner, I'd be happier, I'd get that job I want, my love life will blossom'. The fact is, if you were thinner your life may well, in deed, change, but not necessarily in ways you had expected. And it may not change at all. We learn again that food is neither good nor bad, only our intentions are. This book is a timely reminder for all of us if only.
