The author of this book believes that dieting should be simple and not be expensive. He also believes that modern media culture has great influence over the relationship we have with our bodies, also influenced by parents and family life and a few of our very own personal quirks.In the eight years he spent before writing this book he chose to examine his relationship with food and what he was willing to do to lose weight and keep it off.  He was searching for a new way of life, not just a fad diet.  He realized that his emotional well being was intrinsically linked to his relationship with food.He began an emotional transition, examining what was asking for attention and expressing itself as a desire for food.He realized he saw food as the perfect drug, available legally, necessary to our existence and readily available. One could not ask for a more perfect drug!Because of troubles and failures he experienced in his life, he decided to keep track of what entered his body, as he voluntarily put food in his mouth. A simple thing to do, no calorie counting or anything dramatic, just a simple list of what crossed his lips.Setting goals for a healthy life became a priority.  He chose not to count anything that traditional diets take into consideration.  Not calories, not fat not carbs.This is the incredible story of how he succeeded atlosing 80 lbs just by using his desire to be healthy, active and emotionally happy.He shares so much of his life with the reader, there is no way to avoid making a connection with his personal struggles and decision.This is a wonderfully inspiring book for those seeking a very lasting relationship with staying fit through self examination.It is a book that individuals with a strong desire for control over their lives will enjoy immensely.  Who, after all, does not want to enjoy the freedom of self control, instead of following along with the pack?
