It's Not Your Fault That You're Overweight - A Story of Enlightenment, Empowerment and Accomplishment for Overweight and Obese Kids
By Merilee A. Kern, MBA, Author / Lori Sellstrom, Editor |
|
|  This ground-breaking fictional children’s book depicts the life of an average overweight American kid as (s)he encounters the emotional and physical challenges associated with an adolescent overweight condition. This book's uniqueness, however, lies with its mission to not only help children recognize the overwhelming amount of cultural influences that adversely impact their ability to make good lifestyle choices, but also lessen the emotional burden of self-blame carried by those who have internalized sole responsibility for having become overweight or obese. Releasing this burden will enable these kids to re-focus their emotional and physical energy on making positive, healthful changes in their life. In the end, this is a book of hope that spotlights a representative overweight child who, by better understanding society’s many pressures and influences as well as the importance of living healthfully, achieved his/her goal of living a happier, more fulfilling life.
The important health themes “served up” in an easy-to-read style are intended to help overweight kids get on a healthy track as well as motivate those within a healthy weight range to not only continue making wise lifestyle choices, but also better understand and empathize with peers currently struggling with a weight problem. |
