Are you married to an overweight spouse, or have a relative who is obese, or a really heavy friend?

Do you have feelings and thoughts about your relationship with them and are some of your feelings anger, shame, frustration, hopelessness, or desperation? I have written this book for you. It's a book that...

- Validates yours and other's real and heartfelt, conflicted feelings.

- Gives tips on coping with a loved one's obesity.

- Tells the stories of others who have gone through this same challenge and either came out triumphantly on the other side or failed trying their best and making healthy decisions for themselves and their obese loved one.

- Is informative not only to the supporter, but to the person who suffers with this disease.

"Thru Thick & Thin" is a story of triumph over severe obesity and the arduous journey of both patient and family members. Anyone who struggles with obesity or cares deeply for a loved one with obesity should read this book! -Philip Schauer, M.D. Professor of Surgery Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine Cleveland, Ohio

The key to overcoming any challenge is education and enlightenment. As my good friend, Dr. Butch Rosser, would say. "You don't know, what you don't know and what you don't know can cause you to fail." This landmark book from his wife, Dana Rosser, provides critical information for those who dare to love the obese. This book is a must read. -Rod Paige, Ph.D. Former U.S. Secretary of Education (January 20, 2001-January 20, 2005)
