There are many books out on the market about dieting and many give great tips and ideas, but I found them lacking the motivation I needed when it came to keeping me in focus. I wanted a book which not only gave me the answers, but offered me recipes and cooking tips and tools. I hope that What Weight will do just that for you and that you will be encouraged to stay focus and on track until you reach your desired goal weight. The recipes in What Weight were all used by me as I lost weight over the three year period. I hope you will find some personal favorites of yours and your family. Remember that the one thing that most of us do as humans is try not to look in the mirror. We love looking at the face but when it comes to the full view we are blind. I hope you will learn to look at the front as well as the back of the picture and in doing so find your way to good health. All of us face embarrassing moments its learning to recognize the moment for what it is and accepting the truth about what we can change and going on with what we can't. Learning to eat your way thin is fun and I hope you will enjoy every bite of the way. J M CLARK
