Debra, an author I met on my journey, has a blog tour running right now.
Let's check out the details, shall we?
Now That's Just Stupid: Weight What?:
The F-Word: A three letter word that
carries the greatest impact to the deepest void inside the soul…Fat, there, I
said it. Just the word alone makes every hurt, pain, failure or haunting memory
rise to the surface and food is the only thing that will quiet the storm. You
don’t have a problem with food! You have problems, issues, behaviors and you go
to food. There is a big difference! WEIGHT,
What? is the third release in the Now That’s Just Stupid, Inc. book series.
It’s a journey through real weight loss using regular, every day foods, only
this time you will solve the issues and keep the food. No one should tell you
what to eat, what not to eat or how much to eat. YOU know how to do that! What
you don’t know is how to solve the reasons why you overeat. Healthy foods and
exercise didn’t make you fat and they won’t make you thin UNTIL you face the
emotional issues underneath the weight. This book will show you how to use your
food to guide you toward your C.O.R.E. issues and take the steps to solve them.
Genre: Self-Help

Here is an excerpt from Now That's Just Stupid: Weight What?.
NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR PAST
The Pangs of Hunger and Perception
Through your darkest times, there will always be a beacon of light
shining through the regret that makes up the wetness in your tears.
Your sorrows, coupled with the devastating pain, create building
blocks that allow you to rise toward your purpose.
Your new height then reveals that you made no mistakes; you were just
separated from your soul, so heartbreak had a place to rest.
I wrote that when I was fourteen and had spent the night contemplating
my first attempt at suicide. The relentless harnessing of trying to anticipate
the amount and depth of ridicule I would receive for my too tight jeans and
popped buttons on my flannel shirts when I walked into the school the next day
was suffocating. My wardrobe consisted of husky everything and oversized adult
shirts. Not the fashion statement a teenage girl would hope to set. However,
writing has always been a refuge to release the power of pain when escape was
inevitable, and the food was not available.
Today, I own one pair of fashion jeans and flannel has yet to make a
comeback in my wardrobe. It’s easier now to look back on some experiences that
used to crush my soul but now only sting a bit. I can’t recount them without
any tears of painful coating; the two go hand-in-hand. It’s just some memories hurt
less than others.
Once again, you may be questioning what does this have to do with losing
weight? Some may even be getting slightly nervous that this next juncture is
going to hit a little too close to home. Still, others are losing connection
and have almost justified the reason this process is not for them, and they can
quit without guilt. That is such a fancy way of saying this book is going to be
hurled across the room or thrown straight in the trash. But, hold on. Bear down
through any emotional reaction that separates you from the truth and use your
intellect to be still. Take a break. Reassure yourself that everything is going
to be just fine and say it enough times until you believe it. Remember from
goal setting we are working toward balancing the emotional and intellectual
responses to merge in the middle instead of using the either-or concept and
stay in active addiction.
You should always question anything you don’t understand it’s called
self-care. You have every right to be nervous whenever your instincts are
flared up. That’s what they are there to do. Your instincts warn you to pause
and re-evaluate before going further. Always honor them and never, ever dismiss
them as nothing. They are God [if you believe] or the Universe [if you don’t]
sending you signals to pause and think before determining your next right move.
