Teenage Waistland - the book that focuses on teens
Bob Toovey : 28 March 2006
While cruising around Amazon looking for something interesting, I came accross a book by Abby Ellin called 'Teenage Waistland: A Former Fat Kid Weighs In on Living Large, Losing Weight, and How Parents Can (and Can't) Help'
Its not often you find a book about teen obesity thats not to do with exercise or that examines societies cultural problems. Few books actually address the psychological medical, cultural and developmental complexities affecting over-weight kids.
A small snip from the Amazon...
Abby Ellin's parents got it all wrong when it came to helping her lose weight - but what would have been right? In this fresh, frank and funny look at childhood obesity and its treatment she journeys through diet culture seeking a better way.

Are you finding it difficult to find something to wear for your equestrian interests? Well look no further as Roomy Riders come to the rescue. To be totally honest with you I know nothing about horses and related events so there is not a lot I can add, except of course that the clothing does look nice and generally covers size 16 to 26.
