'Fit To Be Me': Christian Principles Inspire Unique New Weight Loss Book

Wed Mar 12, 2008 8:45am EDT
ROSWELL, N.M., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- When Candace M. Muirhead sat down
and took a long, hard look at her struggles with her weight, she was surprised
to find herself looking inward.  Muirhead quickly discovered that there was
much more to the issue than just trying to shed those stubborn pounds.
    Using the New International Version of the Bible as the basis of her
inspirational guidance, Muirhead presents a new way of looking at weight
struggles with her Christian weight loss program and book, "Fit To Be Me"
(published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com).
    "The majority of today's dieting programs focus on exercise, supplements
and a strict regiment of foods," writes Muirhead.  "I contend that there are
other forces inside of us that keep us bound to our eating habits."
    "Fit To Be Me" is different in that it focuses on finding out what is
going on inside of you that may be causing or enforcing negative outward
practices.  It teaches that God will show you the hurts within and help you to
get rid of them.  Eliminating these hurts -- low self-esteem, guilt,
unworthiness, despair, rejection, marital problems and sexual issues, to name
a few -- creates a healthier, happier inner-self, which translates into the
ability to produce a healthier outer-self.
    "'Fit To Be Me' is about the development of a personal relationship with
our Lord, and finding out why we are held captive with our excess weight,"
Muirhead explains.
    Muirhead's book includes: healthy dieting ideas; charts for tracking
weight loss; pages for keeping track of body measurements and calculating
calorie needs; nutritional information; recipes; useful websites; and sections
for journaling and for finding the calorie content of many foods.
    "My prayer is that my book will appeal to all readers because we live in a
hurting world," Muirhead writes.  "Health and weight issues are receiving more
and more attention.  People are wanting help with weight issues, and God is
there to provide the answers."
    Candace M. Muirhead lives in Roswell, N.M., with her husband, Tom.  "Fit
To Be Me" is her first book.  She is currently working on a second edition
with more studies on God's word, charts and additional useful information.
