I wrote this book to explore these issues further with you and to share a journey both personal and material.&#8221; <strong>Stuff and Your Body<\/strong>As many of you know, I view permanent weight loss as a holistic event.  It&#8217;s more about &#8216;right living,&#8217; then it is about food.  Wrong living adds to our unbalanced view of the world, unbalanced actions &#8230; unhealthy living.   Annie further explains, &#8220;We have a problem with Stuff. With just 5 percent of the world&#8217;s population, we&#8217;re consuming 30 percent of the world&#8217;s resources and creating 30 percent of the world&#8217;s waste. If everyone consumed at U.S. rates, we would need three to five planets!&#8221; If we treat our planet badly, we are treating our bodies badly.   What do you think?
