Mod-Blog friend writes a book

Kim Bensen is a friend of Mod-Blog, though you rarely would see her around here in the comments. I have known her since high school, and she employed CRChair for a while. Now she has written a book about her weight-loss journey with trips for others looking to get healthy.

Kim Bensen knows about weight loss. And weight gain. For years she was a successful entrepreneur, with her own advertising and marketing company, a loving husband, and four beautiful children. But Kim was morbidly obese, eating herself to death and falling off the dieting wagon over and over again. At her heaviest, she topped the scales at 347 pounds and could barely walk, tie her shoes, cross her legs or sit in a chair without fearing it would break. Finally, after struggling with diet after diet from childhood on, and hitting absolute rock bottom, she had had enough, and figured out how to stick to a diet plan once and for all. The result: she lost 212 pounds – fourteen dress sizes and 200 points of cholesterol – and has kept them off for five years!

The book not only has a good story, but has a strong spiritual foundation. It is worth a look, if you are in the market.
