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.
