      A Handbook for the Understanding of Weight-Challenged Individuals

      About the (Inside): A Handbook for the Understanding of Weight-Challenged Individuals was written with one purpose in mind-to change the perspective that society has on those of us who may be, dare I say it, a bit chunky. It seems to me as books about diets and weight loss programs are turning out to be best sellers, society has forgotten to attempt to understand the life, thoughts, emotions, and challenges faced by weight challenged individuals. The goal is for this book to remind us that all have the same hopes and fears as anyone else-and that we are all really thin, just some of us more on the inside.
