The Editors

It's not hard to find books on dieting or foods designed for people who are watching their weight. But side by side with everything that tells us "This is the way to lose weight" there is the nagging question "Do these techniques really lead to a permanent change?"

The authors in this week's focus offer some perspectives that permanently transformed how they were thinking about their bodies. And that resulted in a change in weight. Their examples offer—pardon us—plenty of food for thought!

Elsewhere in this issue, you'll find articles the cover a host of other common difficulties. "Is this the right relationship for me?" tells how a young woman thought through her feelings about a man who seemed dominating, and what happened as a result. "Unconditional love: is it a myth?" offers a perspective on God's love that led to physical healing.
