Each chapter of WIN THE WEIGHT GAME is introduced by The Duchess, who reveals her most personal triumphs and tragedies. She shares the hard-won lessons she has learned about self-esteem and weight loss, with anecdotes about the people and experiences that helped her reach her goals. In "Starting Over at 40," The Duchess reflects on her often tumultuous past, contented present, and hopes for the future. "Body Talk" will show you how the phases of your biological life can affect weight and weight gain, and how to manage those transitions. "My Mother, My Weight" deals with how family members, particularly mothers, can affect a woman's eating habits, while "Good Friends and Significant Others" explores what happens when the people closest to you are threatened by your weight loss efforts. "The 40-Hour Day" takes a realistic look at how the dynamics of work and home affect your emotions as well as your weight. In "Managing Life's Transitions," The Duchess speaks with candor and empathy about life changes, death, and divorce, and offers advice on appropriate and healthful ways to deal with the stress of change so your weight won't suffer. Finally, "Finding Peace" explores how you can take time out to care for yourself when the world around you seems to be spinning out of control.
