Download or read book Be Who You Are written by Dr. Henri Marcoux and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WEIGHT MANAGEMENT IS NOT ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT to become someone you are not. Weight loss programs can help you lose weight, but fail in the long run because the starting point is based on a negative image of yourself. Successful weight management only works when you feel confident and happy about who you are and consciously choose to lose weight (or not) from a positive perspective. Managing weight is really about managing yourself into being the best you can be, loving yourself and letting your body find the shape that best suits who you are. Managing weight is not about losing pounds. It is about losing what is weighing you down! “You cannot be anything but yourself so you might as well...GET INTO IT!"

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Addictions 2 volumes written by Kathryn H. Hollen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two volume set contains frank and factual information about symptoms, causes, effects, prevention, and treatment of substance abuse—alcohol, nicotine, and drugs—and of behavioral addictions such as eating disorders, pathological gambling, and compulsive sexual activity. Including the most up-to-date research, the addiction entries are based largely on criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Tracing the history of the debate over whether addiction is a choice or a disease, the volumes explain how genetic and biological findings support the disease concept while lifestyle choices affect the course of the disease. Graphics and discussions of the brain structures that support this self-reinforcing mechanism illustrate why treatments that obstruct the pathway are showing such promise.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of American Folklore and Folklife Studies written by Simon J. Bronner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of American Folklore and Folklife Studies surveys the materials, approaches, concepts, and applications of the field to provide a sweeping guide to American folklore and folklife, culture, history, and society. Forty-three comprehensive and diverse chapters delve into significant themes and methods of folklore and folklife study; established expressions and activities; spheres and locations of folkloric action; and shared cultures and common identities. Beyond the longstanding arenas of academic focus developed throughout the 350-year legacy of folklore and folklife study, contributors at the forefront of the field also explore exciting new areas of attention that have emerged in the twenty-first century such as the Internet, bodylore, folklore of organizations and networks, sexual orientation, neurodiverse identities, and disability groups. Encompassing a wide range of cultural traditions in the United States, from bits of slang in private conversations to massive public demonstrations, ancient beliefs to contemporary viral memes, and a simple handshake greeting to group festivals, these chapters consider the meanings in oral, social, and material genres of dance, ritual, drama, play, speech, song, and story while drawing attention to tradition-centered communities such as the Amish and Hasidim, occupational groups and their workaday worlds, and children and other age groups. Weaving together such varied and manifest traditions, this handbook pays significant attention to the cultural diversity and changing national boundaries that have always been distinctive in the American experience, reflecting on the relative youth of the nation; global connections of customs brought by immigrants; mobility of residents and their relation to an indigenous, urbanized, and racialized population; and a varied landscape and settlement pattern. Edited by leading folklore scholar Simon J. Bronner, this handbook celebrates the extraordinary richness of the American social and cultural fabric, offering a valuable resource not only for scholars and students of American studies, but also for the global study of tradition, folk arts, and cultural practice.

The principles of the Twelve Steps are a proven method for coming into "conscious contact" with God. When combined with the power of the Book of Mormon, the result is a deepening spirituality within anyone who uses this course of study. Of this work, Colleen states: This work was a gift to me. It has changed my life and given me a practical, proven method of heart-deep repentance. Working the Steps has led me to "come unto Christ" (Moroni 10:32), and He has changed my heart, my mind, my life. I testify that these true principles have the power to bring all mortals - addicted or not - recovery and redemption from mortality's greatest challenges. When focused on our relationship wit

Download or read book Saving Sara written by Sara  Somers and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly fifty years, Sara Somers suffered from untreated food addiction. In this brutally honest and intimate memoir, Somers offers readers an inside view of a food addict’s mind, showcasing her experiences of obsessive cravings, compulsivity, and powerlessness regarding food. Saving Sara chronicles Somers’s addiction from childhood to adulthood, beginning with abnormal eating as a nine-year-old. As her addiction progresses in young adulthood, she becomes isolated, masking her shame and self-hatred with drugs and alcohol. Time and again, she rationalizes why this time will be different, only to have her physical cravings lead to ever-worse binges, to see her promises of doing things differently next time broken, and to experience the amnesia that she—like every addict—experiences when her obsession sets in again. Even after Somers is introduced to the solution that will eventually end up saving her, the strength of her addiction won’t allow her to accept her disease. Twenty-six more years pass until she finally crawls on hands and knees back to that solution, and learns to live life on life’s terms. A raw account of Somers’s decades-long journey, Saving Sara underscores the challenges faced by food addicts of any age—and the hope that exists for them all.
