Book: Made To Crave

As I mentioned in my post yesterday I have been reading the book Made to Crave

This is not your typical weight loss book.  It does not include a plan to get you skinny, she does not give nutrition advice, nor does she tell you what to eat, when to eat or how much to eat. 

So I have to tell you all that I have picked up this book and put it down more times than I can count on one hand?  WHY you ask?   ...It is REAL, HONEST and has made me take a long look at myself and confront some of  my convictions towards food and exercise.  But what I love most about this book is that Lysa tells you what she went through and how she overcame it.  She is not judging or sitting on a high horse because she is now at her goal weight.  You can tell, through her words, that she deeply cares about her own physical and spiritual journey, as well as anyone who will ever read this book.

I really want to dig deeper in this book and write down and share all my thoughts and feelings that I had while I was reading this book but for now I will share one of my favorite quotes from the beginning of the book.

"Getting healthy isn't just about losing weight.  It's not limited to adjusting our diet and hoping for good physical results.  It's about recalibrating our souls so that that we want to change -- spiritually, physically, and mentally. And the battle really is in all three areas."
