Synopsis

Although the author is an advocate of a healthy body weight, this book is not about dieting and has not been written to encourage or discourage overweight women regarding dieting. It is the author’s opinion that overweight people and women in particular have been stigmatized, judged by others and culturally molded to believe that their bodies’ weight holds the key to their beauty and all other attributes are marginal in comparison. The author feels that a fixation on the external has caused the bodies’ weight to become more important than what it embodies. This book is an attempt to reverse that train of thought. There are many unhappy women struggling to lose weight, riding a roller coaster of emotions between self-love and self-hate powered by fluctuations in their weight. The author feels that happiness should be sustained at whatever weight you are or between every pound lost and found on the way to where you want to go! This book wants to encourage women to love themselves unconditionally, the "weigh" they are and not to value themselves in pounds and ounces because they are "More than ‘Meats’ the Eye”.

À propos de l?auteur

Sharon P. Carson has been considered overweight most of her adult life, and knows what it is like to be skinny. However, unlike many women who struggle with weight issues, her weight fluctuations have never affected her happiness or her unconditional love for herself. As a young girl Carson's mother said to her, “It doesn’t matter what others think of you. It only matters what you think of yourself. You have to love yourself…no matter what.” At the time of her mother’s comments, Carson would have been considered skinny by the standards of the day, but as she gained weight, her mother’s advice became much more meaningful and weightier. The author of the book "Act Like a Lady-Think Like a Man", Sharon provided valuable insight into the many issues faced by women today. She continues to share her insight through this book "You are More than “Meats” the Eye."
