description: Finally a book comes along that answers why we are obese. Overweight is a lifestyle issue with risk to health; obesity is a brain disease with associated illness. Our current prescription of behavior modification fails to address the underlying causes of obesity and sets the obese person up for failure. This is a why-not book a what-about-me book a my-turn-now book. 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.ADVANCE PRAISE FOR OBESE FROM THE HEARTObese from the Heart made me cry and made me laugh. It touches upon so many things we as humans live with or without. Sara Stein has an ability to speak to everyone young and old rich and poor any race religion or gender.  Pamela Heller PhotographerThis book is almost lyrical almost like a wonderful song. It has a rhythm to it that is entirely appropriate and unchanging throughout. Severely wonderful!
