This documentary combines facts with feelings by presenting information from nationally recognized experts--Dr. Patrick Pasulka Dr. Louis Arrone, and Dr. Gregory Archer--who offer weight loss programs that work and compelling stories of people struggling to control their weight problem. The first section of the video features recovering overeaters who talk candidly about their problem. Now that their self-esteem has improved and they feel more in control, they can look back on earlier times with humor. But they also remember what it was like to use food as solace when they were hurt, angry, or depressed and how difficult it was to take the first steps toward recovery. A unique aspect of the video is a section on childhood obesity.

"A very moving film...could be especially valuable for individuals suffering from obesity who are just beginning to come to grips with their problem and for those close to them. In high schools and college classrooms, this film could serve as an excellent introduction to a discussion of obesity." - Science Books and Films
