You Are More Than Meats' the Eye Sharon P Carson

Although the author is an advocate of a healthy body weight, this book is not about dieting and has not been written to encourage or discourage overweight women regarding dieting. It is the author's opinion that overweight people and women in particular have been stigmatized, judged by others and culturally molded to believe that their bodies' weight holds the key to their beauty and all other attributes are marginal in comparison. The author feels that a fixation on the external has caused the bodies' weight to become more important than what it embodies. This book is an attempt to reverse that train of thought. There are many unhappy women struggling to lose weight, riding a roller coaster of emotions between self-love and self-hate powered by fluctuations in their weight. The author feels that happiness should be sustained at whatever weight you are or between every pound lost and found on the way to where you want to go! This book wants to encourage women to love themselves unconditionally, the "weigh" they are and not to value themselves in pounds and ounces because they are "More than 'Meats' the Eye."
