Review & Description
Michael D. LeBow, PhD.
is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology. One of his specialties is helping overweight and extremely overweight. People.
But of course, long before he learned how to do that, he had to finish high school. Harsh years for him. Harsh, because in high school he was extremely heavy, and this very visible fact unleashed a horde of weight bullies. They were often slim or muscular teenagers who acted as if they had license to regularly belittle, torment, and tease. Weight bullies enjoyed hurting. Like them but not intent on damaging were the weight blamers. They could be teenagers but usually were adults—family members, teachers and doctors. Blamers freely advised Michael to stop being so weak and to stop being such a glutton in order to stop being so fat. Some even promoted their favorite “obesity cures,” pseudo-remedies that varied from worthless to harmful. Through the course of his studies, Dr. LeBow dedicated himself to finding answers and wrote this book for you, a teenager who needs, not criticism, but practical information about understanding and managing weight:
• what "too heavy" really means and how it is measured
• why some teenagers become too heavy
• where online to get the best advice on how to eat smarter and move more
• what calories are
• what drives weight bullying
• how to uncover personally troublesome places involving eating—eating hotspots
• how to fool unwanted Snack Attacks.
• how to train the brain to be satisfied with smaller portions and fewer helpings at home and at restaurants
• why to and how to guide eating with moderate instead of intense hunger
• how to become active for at least 60 min a day, every day
• how to earn money for getting active
• how to and when not to talk back to weight bullies
• how to and when to talk back to oneself
• the importance of talking with the doctor before trying to manage weight and finding out if weight loss is even called for
• why to and how to avoid the 10 snakes of weight mismanagement
• why to and how to accept responsibility for managing weight
• why to and how to be upbeat about oneself and not think who you are is what you weigh or lose hope
• and much much more…
