Making Light of Being Heavy-Kandy Siahaya

This title tells it all. This is a very charming and enlightening book about one woman's battle with the bulge.

Ever since she was a little girl, Kandy has always had a weight problem. Like many kids her age, this was a tremendous struggle for her during her school year. As her family tried to help her, she was still picked on in school, like so many other kids who are heavy. But, she took it and developed a unique sense of humor about it.

Kandy explores all the avenues of diet and exercise in this book and why they never worked for her. She also explains the stigma surrounding heavy individuals in our society. She takes us through the possibilities of genetic predisposition and that sometimes people are heavy because it is beyong their control.

This is a remarkably entertaining book and a great source of information. If you are looking for a good read from a humorous woman, this definitely is the one. Nice job.
