Obese from the heart - A fat Psychiatrist Discloses
Website: http://obesefromtheheart.com/
Drawing on her own battles with weight loss and years of experience as a physician and a psychiatrist, Sara L. Stein, M.D., tackles obesity with a fresh, honest, and holistic approach. Losing weight is the result of treating the whole person, mending Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Obese From the Heart addresses the everyday challenges of obesity – the fruitless struggle to lose weight, the self-conscious embarrassment of first impressions, and the hopeless, hollow chorus of ‘I’ll start tomorrow...’. Starting from the inside out, Dr. Stein teaches healthy, balanced, and energetic living that anyone can practice starting now.
