  'So you think you're fat. Are you sure? Do you think so, or has someone suggested you could lose a few? Has a doctor told you that you could be at risk for high blood pressure or diabetes if you don't take the weight off? Does your mother or father nag you every time you put something in your mouth? Do friends tease you? Do strangers give you that she-would-be-so-pretty-if-she-lost-twenty-pounds look? Or do you just feel fat because your best friend wears two sizes smaller than you?' This straightforward classic on adolescent diet examines the social and dietary pressures on today's teens, and arms them with information to combat weight and image issues.In the battle for the perfect body, too many teens resort to skipping meals, taking laxatives or vomiting after eating. These dangerous practices can be stopped if only they knew that there is a much safer and more effective way to get fit and trim down. The topics include: female hormones and weight control; the benefits of exercise; tips and tricks; effective food choices; calorie charts; healthy alternatives for meals, snacks and drinks; the dangers of bad dieting; and, variety, moderation, and balance - no food is forbidden.
