This one is for older, elementary-age children ... a little too old for my children right now. But it is wonderful; I enjoyed it tremendously. A worthwhile read even for the adults who want a beautifully illustrated abridged account of the pilgrims and their journey. ]]>

""And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened." " — Douglas Coupland

Okay... so I was completely debating whether I'd even add this on my 'currently reading' or 'read' list, because I'm sure anyone who knows me would ask, 'Why are you reading this?'
But, truth be told, I am loving this book too much not to add it to my list. I think it is awesome for any one wanting to take control of anything in their life, not just eating/weight issues. The surrender statement and personal contract are applicable to all sorts of areas of your life that you wish to change, although the rest of the book deals primarily with eating habits and making exercise as regular as brushing your teeth (as it should be).
Definitely check it out (literally). That's what I did from my library, not expecting to read more than a dozen pages or so, until I absolutely realized I loved it and had to read the whole thing.
