Body Pride

Many overweight and/or obese teenagers and young adults suffer from both low self-esteem and insecurity--I myself (at one time) suffered from this problem. This book's authors have incorporated many of the key elements of Lindora's Lean For Life program which have made it such a success. Written with compassion and insight, it can be a great aid for those teenagers and young adults dealing with obesity and the low self-esteem so often associated with it. My only regret is not having known what I do today (I started the LFL program at the age of 30--after having been obese for years while dealing with yo-yo dieting).

This book rocks. I was bulimic, but when I read the book I found out new ways to loose weight that really works without hurting myself. Needless to say, it helped me A LOT.

We teens lead some pretty extreme lives. In between bungee jumping, sky surfing, and looking for new places on my body to pierce, it can be a total bummer trying to eat right. That's why this book is way cool!!!! The 28 day program rocked!!! You gotta give it up for this one!!!!

i'm really very excited about `bodyPRIDE' simply because i have a teenage boy who was overweight and in a lot of despair about it. we used this book on a daily basis and within 4 months, he dropped several pounds. more important, his self-awareness and self-esteem grew dramatically. now, he's trying out for junior varsity football and is more happy about himself. the plan is easy to do and takes you through it, step by step. your kid can do it with you or, better yet, by him or herself. the language talks to them directly, i think. if you have a problem with your kid, this is a good tool. honestly, art richman
