( ) I agree with princessbabs - 'disturbing book'! I commend Susan Blech for her courageous, stripped down memoir; however, I often read this book with a twisted look of disgust on my face! I couldn't even eat one night, after reading through her fast food adventures. I read this book to gain perspective on what prompts a person to gain an inordinately huge amount of weight. On a regular basis, I help overweight, and obese, folks adopt healthier, more active and nutritionally sound lifestyles. While psychological underpinnings are often the case with overweight folk, there is such a high degree of negative emotional charge that drives weight up to morbid and extreme morbid obesity. By reading this book, I hoped to gain a glimpse into what can be an extremely lonely, and often helpless, type of life. If I can offer one piece of advice to everyone, it is to not only treat overfat people like human beings, it is crucial to reach out and include them, as you would ANYONE. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When her doctor told her she could suffer a stroke just by walking across the street, Susan Blech knew drastic action was called for. She was only 38 years old, and the scale registered a life-threatening 468 pounds. Rejecting the idea of gastric bypass surgery, Susan relocated to Durham, North Carolina, giving up all that was familiar and $70,000 of her life savings to devote herself to losing weight and getting healthy on the famed Rice Diet. In Confessions of a Carb Queen, Susan Blech speaks candidly about topics no obese person has dared to address: fat sex, eating binges, the lies you tell others, and the lies you tell yourself. She explores the psychological component of overeating and the connection between her own binge eating and the aneurysm that left her mother brain-damaged and paralyzed when Susan was a toddler. Her gripping story--a blend of memoir, advice, and delicious, health-conscious recipes--is a testament to her personal strength and willpower, and will be an inspiration to all who read it.
