The Twisted Love of Food Addiction, (Paperback)

"THE MORE IN CONTROL OF FOOD I TRIED TO BE, THE MORE OUT OF CONTROL MY LIFE AND MY EATING BECAME!"

Echo Laymon Pelster discovered that obesity has less to do with what people eat and everything to do with what's eating them.

Echo's courageous story of what happened, what it was like, and how it is now is your opportunity to identify with someone else while overcoming the traps of compulsive and addictive eating.

Echo shares, "When I had my first gastric bypass in 1984, I believed it would make me thin forever. It didn't. Within a year, I regained the original 60 pounds plus, over the next few years gained weight clear up to an astronomical 357.8 pounds.

So, with my inner soul calling me again, I played the insanity card, had another bypass in 2001, lost 203 pounds, and made the local paper... only to gain back more than 114 pounds. Ashamed, isolated, and hiding out, I discovered principles to lose and keep the weight off. And I know of what I speak. I've kept the weight off for nearly 20 years."

Echo will be the first to tell you that a bariatric bypass saved her life, but it didn't solve her problems. "Once I found the solution to my yo-yo life, where I gained and lost over 770-pounds. I was committed to helping others find peace and freedom with food."

Have you spent most of your life fighting with your weight, trying to lose it or maintain it? Do you dream of"Food Freedom?

But it doesn't have to be! No Blame, No Shame.
