At this month's meeting, we will discuss "Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight" by Linda Bacon.
Read the book prior to attending, or just come for the discussion! We will start with introductions and then have time for everyone to share their opinions about the book and ask questions.
Book Summary:
Health at Every Size is not a weight-loss book. It’s not a diet book. It’s not an exercise program. Health at Every Size is a book about healthy living, one designed to support you as you shift your focus from hating yourself and fighting your body to learning to appreciate yourself, your body, and your life. It’s a book designed to help you break free of the weight-loss mentality and embrace the health-and-happiness mentality. Because really, what’s beneath your weight-loss quest? Isn’t your ultimate goal to feel better about yourself and to feel love, acceptance, vitality, and good health?
Health at Every Size is not speculation or unproven theory. It’s based on a scientifically tested program, evaluated through a government-funded academic study. Its data was published in well-respected scientific journals.
The Health at Every Size promise: you can feel better about yourself, you can feel loved, accepted, and vital—and you can improve your health—regardless of whether you lose weight.
