5.0 out of 5 stars A very light-hearted tone!, February 4, 2008

"Be Ye Encouraged!" carries a theme that is not new to most of us -- how to lose weight and become healthier. However, the author Leeda Bacon has the ability to motivate even the most unmotivated dieters by her honesty and stories of her own struggle with weight loss. She does not browbeat individuals for being overweight or pass judgment -- she provides encouragement. Ms. Bacon also gives ample information on how to eat out, cravings and choosing our own lifestyle goals. She states, "What works for me may not work for you."

The beginning of her book asks the readers several questions, such as "Why are you starting this diet in the first place? What is your motivation?" She also lets the readers know that dieting should be for the individual and not for others. She also states one should be comfortable with who they are. Ms. Bacon also affirms that cheating happens and if it does, get right back on track.

One of her comments in the book stated, "I am your cheerleader, this book is for you to pick up when you feel that urge coming on or are feeling down about yourself." I really liked that statement because so many other diet books encourage you to buy their products or books. They also make you feel if you didn't buy them you couldn't lose weight. Ms Bacon doesn't do that.

Anyone who is considering a diet, or are on a diet should read "Be Ye Encouraged!" It is serious but with a very light-hearted tone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensible approach to life and the enjoyment of eating!, June 10, 2007

By	Sharon Groves - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a terrific little book of - you guessed it! - Encouragement! We all need that push to keep on our path of eating right, focusing on our spiritual life and sometimes just that 'wake up call' about our life's direction. Leeda's book shows the joy that shines through her in finding that the sensible 'steady as you go' approach to weight loss and eating is the right way we should all approach our lives. I recommend you take that journey with her and see if it doesn't encourage you to approach your lifestyle in a more positive way.
