    About this ebook

    Why am I Fat is an insightful look in to why more and more people are finding themselves overweight. It is not a "criticism" but rather a help guide in to getting free from the power of food over our lives, our lack of self control and our inability to be able to say "No". You will find in reading this book that often, there are larger issues and mindsets that also need to be addressed/dealt with.
