Most Americans know that obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes andother potentially fatal ailments. However, most don't know that theseproblems can be overcome through serious personal evaluation.

"Journaling literally saved my life," said Fitzgerald, a former,self-described "emotional over-eater."

Throughout adolescence Fitzgerald struggled with her weight. At herheaviest, weighing more than two hundred pounds. She also found herselfdealing with a serious health condition called Candida, an overgrowth of badbacteria in the body. "I didn't want to medicate or temporarily mask theproblem. I wanted to find out exactly what thoughts and feelings led to theproblem so that I could eliminate it," Fitzgerald said. She set off on thejourney of journaling and recorded daily how she felt, what she ate, waterintake and how much she exercised. "Once I started asking myself toughquestions and having the courage to come up with answers, my eating changedand my physical and emotional prognosis improved significantly," Fitzgeraldstated. She eventually dropped more than seventy pounds "thanks to cleansing,better diet choices and journaling."

It wasn't long before Fitzgerald began writing a comprehensive guidedjournal that helps one to track and monitor not only food choices, butemotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of their lives; hence she says"will help others realize the Spirit - Mind - Body connection." The Spirit ofa Winner Guided Journal is self-published and available at all Chicago-landWhole Foods Markets, online at http://www.spiritofawinner.com and by calling:1-800-373-6076.
