Download or read book 45 Reasons It Sucks to be Fat Daily Diet Motivation written by Barbara Sorrelson and published by Barbara Sorrelson. This book was released on with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is NOT a book about fat shaming. If you’re happy with your weight, that’s amazing – celebrate it, because so few people ever feel that way. This is also not a book about appearances. It’s not for someone else to decide if you are beautiful or ugly. But plenty of overweight people suffer from self esteem issues surrounding their appearances, and this unhappiness is a real problem. A few of the points in this book address those feelings. This book IS for people who are unhappy and need reminders to keep them motivated to change. We all know the health risks that come from being overweight. Heart disease, diabetes, and any number of other conditions are always spouted as the reasons why you “should” lose weight. But while avoiding future health complications is a great idea, it’s tough to actually stick to your diet without some sort of noticeable gratification – after all, you can’t SEE your arteries unclogging, and you can’t FEEL your insulin resistance going away. But what about that feeling when you sit down and your belt buckle digs into your belly, and you can’t decide if it’s better to skip the belt altogether and have to subtly readjust your pants all day long as they roll and fold down the slopes of your fat rolls? Oh yeah, you can feel that. This is a book full of (hopefully humorous and relatable) reasons to remind you WHY you’re on this journey. It’s not because you SHOULD be, it’s because you WANT to be.

A chance encounter with a student--a young man Andy once wrote off as 'a waste of life'--provokes the youngster onto a tumultuous journey. As if the turmoil confronting Andy regarding who he believed were his friends and the social implications that this student has thrust upon him were not enough, a serial killer of young boys lurks in the shadows, waiting for his next opportunity. The ruthless killer's activities drift along a path that will eventually cross the carefree pre-teen exploits of Andy and his friends. What remains of Andy's friendships and his friends at the story's end will prove how strong each was from the beginning.

Download or read book Why We Suck written by Denis Leary and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-11-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller One of America’s most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it—his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics—with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for CancerLock ’n Load. Proudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary’s impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suck is right on target. Leary is the star and co-creator of the Emmy-nominated television show Rescue Me.

I asked which bariatric surgery he had, and I was blown away by the most practical, healthy, and sustainable answer I have ever heard: “I just chose to be fit not fat.” I have read Choose FITness not FATness Today! and was very impressed on several key points.

Download or read book Mandate A Man for the Times written by Michael A. Connelly and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Government-never good at long-term planning and recently coming up tragically short in near-term adaptive economic oversight-has also never been more gridlocked. Partisan politics, self interest, economic misinformation, and mindless slogans rule the day-at one of the most critical and transitional times in our history. On the other hand, advances in technology continue, the United States has an incredibly powerful industrial engine and amazing productive capacity in place, and the potential is clearly there to address all the issues listed above. The Novel 'Mandate: A Man for The Times' is an optimistic, research-intensive, character-driven, humorous, and insightful 'fantasy' of how the United States might reach its technology-fueled potential over the next twenty years. Growing up, future president Williams gets an intense, 'hands-on' education in business and economics working in his father's turbulent GM auto dealership. Williams earns a PhD in economics from Yale and works with a charismatic professor, Dr. Lester Walden, who is leading an eminent team making groundbreaking advancements in global economic modeling, simulation, and analysis. Williams also pitches for the Boston Red Sox, and becomes head of the Players Union. (MLBPA) Meanwhile, Internet marketing billionaire Don Reddy, who has earlier founded the 'Sanity Party, ' a progressive, bi-partisan, economically astute movement as an offset to the overly dogmatic and ideological 'Tea Party, ' is now making eye-opening progress in building a baseball fan's union. Williams will lead the MLBPA in complex and historic negotiations with the MLB Owner's Committee and new MLBFA, and eventually become a successful Congressman and Governor of Massachusetts. Governor Williams brings together Dr. Walden, Don Reddy, the 'Sanity Party, ' and a meticulously assembled team of the 'best and brightest' senior advisors to build a uniquely capable coalition that wins the presidency with gridlock-breaking mandate, and then brings superbly informed adaptive economic oversight to bear to finally make accelerating technological advance and globalization truly benefit the average hardworking American.

Download or read book Narrative Journeys of Young Black Women with Eating Disorders written by Stephanie A. Hawthorne and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative Journeys of Young Black Women with Eating Disorders: A Hidden Community among Us explores how the realities of three young black women who have experienced eating disorders since childhood were transformed, discussing the larger implications of disordered eating in underrepresented populations. People of all ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds are susceptible to their grips, yet black women and children are experiencing eating disorders and suffering in silence due to shame and stigma. Due to barriers such as the conventional thought that eating disorders do not occur in the black community, they are often not acknowledged, discussed, or treated properly. Stephanie Hawthorne argues that these women’s lived experiences substantiate the need for culturally sensitive and inclusive prevention, intervention, and care when it comes to mental health, and offers recommendations to schools, clinicians, parents, and adolescents to accomplish this goal. Scholars of communication, mental health, race studies, education, and medicine will find this book particularly useful.

Download or read book Watching Our Weights written by Melissa Zimdars and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Gourmand Awards, Food Writing Section, USA​ Watching Our Weights explores the competing and contradictory fat representations on television that are related to weight-loss and health, medicalization and disease, and body positivity and fat acceptance. While television—especially reality television—is typically understood to promote individual self-discipline and expert interventions as necessary for transforming fat bodies into thin bodies, fat representations and narratives on television also create space for alternative as well as resistant discourses of the body. Melissa Zimdars thus examines the resistance inherent within TV representations and narratives of fatness as a global health issue, the inherent and overt resistance found across stories of medicalized fatness, and programs that actively avoid dieting narratives in favor of less oppressive ways of thinking about the fat body. Watching Our Weights weaves together analyses of media industry lore and decisions, communication and health policies, medical research, activist projects, popular culture, and media texts to establish both how television shapes our knowledge of fatness and how fatness helps us better understand contemporary television.
