(HealthNewsDigest.com) - For all the emphasis that society places on weight and the excitement over the latest fad diets, countless people find it hard if not impossible to lose
weight and keep it off. In Craving Hope, author Joni
Woelfel offers readers a new perspective on the weight
loss journey: While it’s important to focus on the science
of weight loss, the personal and spiritual aspects of that
journey matter just as much. Our bodies respond to our
life stories through our mind/body/spirit connection.

Using faith and an introspective approach to understanding
the “whys” and “hows” of our eating and dieting
practices, readers follow Woelfel through her own ninetyday
weight loss journey as she uncovers the underlying
causes for her weight and encourages readers to explore
their relationships to food, exercise, family and God.
In ninety reflections, each one including an opening
quote, daily progress notes, a reflection question, inspirational
statement, brief prayer and daily mantra, Woelfel
shows how living a healthy lifestyle is about much more
than counting calories, steps, or repetitions. Reflections
include:
• It’s All Connected
• Preventing Roadblocks
• When Noting Is Happening
• Childhood Conditioning
• Nation of Consumers

Designed to be used in conjunction with a credible
weight loss program, Craving Hope is an easy-to-use
resource for individuals, but is also ideal for small group
use with discussion questions and group activity suggestions
at the end of each of its five parts.
