Self-Talk and Lifestyle Choices: A Novel Approach to Understanding How Self-Talk Impacts Diet and Exercise Goals

For thirty-year-old Samantha, clothes shopping these days is merely an exercise in humiliation. Always an emotional eater, she now not only carries the weight of being lonely and single but also lugs around thirty extra pounds. In a last-ditch effort to escape her downward spiral, Samantha schedules a therapy session.

As Samantha begins to uncover the root causes that drive her poor choices, she calls on friends to help her…and winds up starting a relationship with Brad.

But as their bond deepens, she learns that he, like her dysfunctional father, is an alcoholic. Can the healthy life skills she’s learning help Brad, too, or is dating him just another one of her dumb decisions?

Self-Talk and Lifestyle Choices, part of the Novel Approach to Women’s Issues series, weaves self-help tips and insights regarding weight loss issues and negative self-talk into an empowering fictional story that can change your life. Journey with Samantha as she learns how losing weight is about more than simply dieting and exercising.

Changing your life is less about losing…and more about gaining the right perspective about who you are and how much you’re worth.
