The majority of women are busy—our lives are a delicate balancing act. We're mothers. We're wives. We're bosses and colleagues. Most of us don't have fancy trainers, chefs, personal assistants, or any staff. There's little time to pay attention to our own needs, let alone our weight. Many of us feel overburdened and underappreciated. What we really need is a real-world plan that frees up time, lifts us up, and makes life easier.
As an inspired weight-loss expert and recovered yo-yo dieter, Jennifer Tuma-Young has used her B.A.L.A.N.C.E. program to help thousands of women create balance, release weight, witness true results, and find joy. Now, in Balance Your Life, Balance the Scale, Jennifer gives you concrete tools to change the life imbalances that are often the real culprits of weight struggles.
Jennifer not only helps others but knows firsthand the challenges women face every day. Many years ago, she lost more than one hundred pounds. By joining the Curves community, changing her food mind-set, and learning how to love life (flaws and all), she radically transformed her body, her health, and her well-being. Jennifer, a working mother of two, is on a quest to help women everywhere find balance and meaning while releasing the weight!
Jennifer Tuma-Young understands women. She gets the yo-yo diets, the madness of "starting" on Monday. She wants you to get off the "Dieting Wheel of Frustration" and kick the negative self-talk to the curb! Above all, she wants you to embrace balance and self-care.
In Balance Your Life, Balance the Scale, Jennifer will teach you how to:
Rekindle your true food-life connection
Release the stuff in your mind that weighs you down
Assess who you are and what you stand for so you can move forward with a "sharper compass"
Cleanse and detoxify your life and your body
Increase your energy with three critical fuel sources (two of which have nothing to do with food!)
Make choices that align with your best self
Set and reach goals by removing the frustrating question of how to make it happen
Confront obstacles and roadblocks head-on
Plug into life so you are happy, healthy, and—most important—not wasting precious time worrying about your weight
The essential ingredient in her winning plan is nurturing yourself. Regardless of your shape or size, if you are beating yourself up to stay thin or using food for reasons other than its intended purpose—which is to truly nourish your body—then Jennifer can help.
Review
"Tuma-Young's first book is not really about food; there are no calorie counts and few menus or recipes. Instead, she offers an intensive course in personal development where readers can assess their core values, bodies, definitions of success, deepest needs, and underlying causes of frustrations, the ultimate goal being to "release" weight by releasing unhealthy habits, energy-sapping obligations, limiting beliefs, and unproductive activities...all bring this vision of balance within reach." ~ Publisher's Weekly
"Balance is the key ingredient to health, happiness and success, and there is no one who knows more about balance than Jennifer Tuma-Young. Jennifer's book will help you strike your balance cord and you will begin to live your life from a fresh, healthy perspective." ~ Dr. Tom Kersting, Author of Losing Weight When Diets Fail, Founder of Valley Family Counseling Center
"Jennifer Tuma-Young knows there's no magic pill for weight loss, and that dieting for the rest of your life isn't the answer, either...she knows it is about more than just a number on a scale. Her insightful book identifies the underlying reasons that typical dieting mindsets fail us and provides a balanced plan for success."~ Diane Heavin, Co-Founder of Curves
"Balance is one of the biggest challenges for women today, but is also one of the essential ingredients to a happy, healthy life. Jennifer Tuma-Young's book simplifies the balance conundrum that so many of us are in, and contains all the secrets, tips, and inspiration needed to live a life in balance! She is an authentic star in this category of expertise." ~ Marta Tracy Creator of The Style Networks, One of the Original Founders of E! Entertainment Television and Author of STARRING YOU!
"Jennifer helps readers face the fears of immersing in a new way of living and holds their hands as a sister-companion on the journey.
