A bully made me hold his poop one day.he shoved me into the bathroom and forced me into a stall where he had just done his business, and forced me to grab his poop out of the toilet. When I refused, he kept kicking me viciously. Seeing me holding his poop brought so much sickening pleasure to his face. His gang members had already surrounded us and watched in amusement as their hero restored their faith in him. They all took turns punching and kicking me. My body was sore and I had blue bruises everywhere. This was all because I was fat. My appearance intimidated him. He beat me every day in second grade because of that. This nightmare still haunts me to this day. I never thought I would share this awful memory with anyone. But here I am writing a book about bullying and obesity. I grew up an obese child in Egypt. I lost 50 kgs (135 kgs - 85 kgs) at the age of 17, opened my fitness business to help people change and lose weight, and stayed like that for four years. Then, gained 30 kgs in a span of two months due to losing my business and some other bad incidents. I realized that obesity is an endless war. I realized that a small change in your lifestyle is so much better than short life span restricted food plans. That is why I wrote "I AM NOT FAT" to share my experience with obesity and how to cope with it and live freely. Also, to inspire and motivate as many people as I can. I have been through very very tough times, but I am really grateful for them. They shaped my character and made me a better person. To anyone who is reading this and struggling in silence. I wanna tell you, you are not alone. We are in this together. We are not FAT.

Musings of a woman trying to love her body in today's world ...Meet Jennifer, a 40-something year old mother who has a complicated relationship with her body. While once labeled as "skinny" by her childhood peers, Jennifer now feels anything but. A strong advocate, she is a firm believer in the growing Body Positive movement. But like so many other generations of women today, she struggles to fully accept her physical self. This brings her to ask such critical questions as: Why are boobs still so scandalous?Is my neglecting to shave rooted in laziness or feminism?Who are women kidding with all those photo filters?Was dodgeball created to further traumatize non-athletic children?Why is only a certain demographic allowed to be "sexy" on social media?Does every woman do the "bounce test" when trying on a bathing suit?What fool designed women's underwear with hole details in it? (and why did I buy it?)From Skinny to All Boobs & Ass is a story about one woman's truth and her greatest love story- that of learning to love herself. It is an offering of acceptance and hope for every woman who has struggled to do the same.

Sometimes, those who seemed to have made it to the top are actually just starting to figure things out.Have you been striving for perfection while juggling roles galore?Are you naturally ambitious, constantly seeking to develop and improve yourself so you are always valued and sought out?Did you eventually achieve success according to society's standards, obtaining accolades of degrees, high-status titles, externally perfect relationships, and other outer reflections of success? Meanwhile, do you hide and feel ashamed about the stress, moodiness, and glaringly large void of low self-worth which lurks beneath the surface?With anecdotes and reflections of how superwoman syndrome influenced her life decisions while chasing academic, social, and financial success, Alisia shares a detailed account of her awareness-to-healing process, and aims to hold a mirror to readers vicariously acknowledging the stress they may be feeling through related experiences.Congrats Superwoman encourages readers to understand and recognize that they are enough, and to identify the sources which invalidate this, so they can recognize its impact, and evaluate how they intend to move forward.

Delve in and you will discover: - you are not alone-you are simply doing your best-and you do not need to apologise for your 'imperfections'Ailsa Robson is a water baby, incessant muser and writer, and someone who always looks for the silver lining.

Ailsa is a passionate advocate for Health At Every Size principles and shakes her tail-feather with joy, regardless of how big her butt is.

And she will offer valuable insights, which no doubt will play a part in the reader's own transformation. - Dr Cate Howell I admire Ailsa for sharing her deeply personal story with others. Her journey has resonated with me on many levels and I know other readers will feel the same. It is raw, touching and inspiring. - Tania Whether you are a self-awareness journey-person, someone who enjoys diary/blog reading or simply curious folk, this book helps to keep it real, and lets others in on life where we can all be less than perfect mums, friends, partners or lovers. The vulnerability shown is a strength because everyone is facing their own version of pain/trauma/trouble. - CateThis book spoke to me. So much of what Ailsa wrote, I could relate to in my life. Not just the parts about body image and weight-loss and the struggle to be perfect but also when she spoke about marriage and the struggle to keep romance alive when you have young kids and your focus is elsewhere. I feel like I've made a new friend through reading this book. - Renee

If you want to lose weight, quit trying! Ten years ago, Aften Locken did just that. Not only did she lose a bunch of weight, she learned how to eat whatever she wants and never struggle with her body, food, or putting on pounds again. Before figuring this stuff out, Aften was highly experienced in get-skinny-quick fails. These repeated attempts, plus a long history of eating disorders, left her hopeless, heavy, and eating all the cookies in defeat. Thinner Bliss describes the completely different mindset and methods she used to go from weighty misery to slenderizing joy. It includes practical tools and tactics that have been fine-tuned over a decade and easily apply to daily life. She illustrates her insight with candid confessions of personal experiences and plenty of sardonic wit.

On the first day of treatment (inpatient or outpatient), the patient is handed this workbook and asked to complete the eating disorder questionnaire, thus beginning the process of having the patient confront the secrecy of their eating disorder. The therapist, or family member, reads the literature in the workbook and reviews the patient's answers and begins to understand the dynamics and the physical and emotional pain of the person with an eating disorder. The patient proceeds to move through the four levels of treatment, setting goals at each level that are reviewed by the therapist and the treatment team. The patient will continue to answer questionnaires, learn the program guidelines for meal monitoring and behavior, write essays, and begin dealing with the challenges of being honest, dealing with anger, confronting fear, taking responsibility, and learning to persevere in treatment. The patients in these programs are often resistant to treatment, seeing their identity as an anorexic patient or a bulimic patient. Through intensive therapy, and using this workbook, these patients begin to see that they are a person that has an eating disorder illness. They begin to reclaim the personality they had prior to their illness, and they gain self-acceptance and self-esteem. They come to realize that their illness is not their identity.

The Mindful Eating Method is a revolutionary book that offers a NON-DIET approach to losing weight, naturally and pleasurably, by using a powerful body/mind approach. The first step is tapping into the genius of your own extraordinary body and learning how to listen to your physical appetites rather than your emotional appetites. The second key is learning how to master your mind so that you can master your weight...and your life! Written by a woman who has overcome food addiction, an eating disorder and a highly judgmental relationship with her own body, the manual explains from a physical and psychological perspective exactly why diets do not work and how body judgment actually activates the emotional appetites that lead to excess weight gain. Readers will discover what is driving the urge to eat compulsively when they are not truly hungry and learn the 10 keys to achieving their healthiest weight permanently. As an added bonus the manual offers a thirty day partnership program which assists the reader and a chosen partner in "teaming up" to more rapidly make the transition away from compulsive overeating towards eating in synchronicity with their true physical appetites. A life-changing book!

The journal pages contain a checklist of suggestions on how to show your body love on a daily basis. There are also blank boxes for you to write in your answers. You might add other boxes for other actions and rituals--like "doing my physical therapy exercises," or even highly targeted interventions like "massaging the scar tissue on my knee."It's our perspective that humans are incarnate spirits, woven of consciousness and energy. While we have a permanent consciousness (or "soul") that isn't anchored to the body, we are living in a body. Our bodies' health responds to our thoughts, as well as to the thoughts of the collective culture. When those thoughts are negative, they can limit our freedom and happiness. Those beliefs can be unwound. Body Love Journaling, and the suggested self-care practices in the checklists, are designed to support a reintegration: a restitching together of the body, mind, and spirit. In addition to these exercises, questions are sprinkled throughout the book. They were created to help you evoke and examine the cultural beliefs that you've inherited about your body. They are questions about sex, shape, size, function, illness, and aging. About who your body belongs to, and who can make decisions about it. About what it can eat or drink or ingest. About what medical procedures are allowed and disallowed--even about how your body should be dressed. We ask things like: "Is your body here to please others?" "How is a body's quality related to a person's worth?" Our hope is that, upon examination, there are some beliefs you might like to leave behind forever!

Bulimia. What does it look like? Frail? White? Dark circles? Sunken cheeks? Blond hair? Blue eye? Nope, not this time. Bulimia was me. A beautiful, black intelligent, charismatic mother, sister, friend and entrepreneur. Bulimia looked like me. Every time I ate, purged and stared into the bathroom mirror, I was reminded that Bulimia did not discriminate, but it resided within every corner and crevice of my mind reminding me of my painful past with each and every regurgitation. I was purging memories of the molestation and promiscuity in my childhood and adolescence, spiritual life, dysfunctional family relationships, and finances. Of course to the outside world, I looked life I had it all together, but I knew the truth had to come out one day. Today is that day. The great controversy, the battle between head and heart is brought to the light and God prevailed.

Now a sophomore in college and in recovery from depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder, in this courageous personal account Lucy Quigley erases the stigmas associated with mental illness, explains the feelings associated with living through the often hidden and painful reality of disorder eating, and helps motivate other young women like her to recognize their worth within their moments of darkness. Lucy's story of her first year of recovery honestly depicts the struggles and emotional issues that many high school-age and college-age women endure as they move through the challenges of establishing their identities and finding self-worth and confidence in the midst of life transitions, setbacks, and confronting the unknown. The most important lesson that Lucy learned during her year of treatment is never to give up hope because when you're at your worst things can only get better. An eating disorder is like an abusive relationship. If you put in the work to challenge the voice of the eating disorder in your mind, your own true voice will get stronger. Your relationship with yourself will improve. Making the decision to live a full life, taking the time to care for yourself, and connecting with people will empower you. Never forget that you are worthy of a wonderful life.

Eat Less and Move More: My Journey shows you how you can change your lifestyle without spending long hours in the gym and without starving yourself while enjoying cheat meals. On May 2, 2011, I received my wake up call. I was 336 pounds, had borderline type 2 diabetes, and was recently recovered from both bronchitis and pneumonia. My bad eating habits and lifestyle choices were making me ill, but I was too wrapped up in what I was doing to spot the signs let alone to do anything about it. That day I found myself in the doctor's office and was told that I might not be around in 5-10 years if I didn't change my lifestyle. That was my wake-up call. Luckily I got a second chance. That day I realized that life is short and precious and I made a decision that I was going to do things differently. I decided to change my life so that I could live life to the fullest and eat less and move more. What I decided to create for myself was: -A healthy lifestyle that I could be proud of -The mental freedom to live the life of my dreams -The freedom of good health to do the things I love and to be with the people who matter most to me And now I want to help you do the same. After all, deciding to start your journey to eat less and move more is something you do because you have a vision of a better life for you and your family. It's your chance to take control and live life on your terms. And done right it will give you the mental freedom and the freedom of good health to do the things you love, when you want to do them and with the people who matter most in your life. Eat Less and Move More will show you how to create an improved you that gives you the time to work on your own passions in life. It will also show you the mistakes that I made and what I did when I gained over half of the weight back. I also tell my story throughout the book of working in the corporate world and eventually leaving that world to pursue a career in teaching as my weight and career were connected. In short, losing weight and keeping the weight off is not a temporary change but a lifestyle choice by choosing to eat less and move more. Eat Less and Move More shows you how you can easily start your own journey towards a healthier lifestyle - a lifestyle that you can be proud of and achieve both mental freedom and freedom of good health. But more than this, Eat Less and Move More explores what it means to live a truly happy and fulfilled life - to really live the life of your dreams and pursue what you love. It encourages you to examine your own motivations and desires in order to determine your path in life.
