Book Review: Talking About Your WeightThis title in the Healthy Living series offers both good information and interesting insights about weight issues and does so without making readers feel self-conscious. The book begins with an awareness that people come in all shapes and sizes and explains that although being overweight can mean different things, there are specific ways to measure obesity. The focus here is on balance and solutions: how to make better food choices, ways to incorporate exercise into everyday life, and how to handle problems that come up when one is not in charge of cooking or selecting meals. Eating disorders are covered in a two-page spread but are not sensationalized...Ilene Cooper, Booklist
