Very helpful

I lost a hundred pounds and this book helped me to accept my new body.

A Blueprint for Change

Just reading the back of this book was a powerful and resonant experience. Working through the book and examining my own life has been monumental. This book is a God-send, and I haven't found anything else out there that addresses the topics that it does. THANK YOU, Judith, for having the courage to write as you did. I think it should be required reading for anyone who has lost weight, and groups like Weight Watchers should actively encourage people to read it, because losing weight IS so much more than a physical change.

Great advice for "losers!"

I have have recently lost 40 pounds (hit my goal 8 months ago) and I could not put this book down. It was like they read my mind. It addresses everything from the fear of gaining the weight back, how to handle compliments, how to handle people who try to sabotage your efforts, and much more. This is a must read for anyone who has lost weight and is now trying to maintain their new healthy weight!

The key to long-term sustainable weight loss!

As a psychologist at a Weight Management Center, I was interested in seeing what strategies the author used to lose weight and maintain the loss. The two authors cut to the chase and refuse to succumb to gimmicky weight loss techniques. They are clear in the role that our thoughts have on our ability to break bad food habits and lose weight for good. This is a non-deprivation based program in which there is no "good" or "bad" food--any food can be helpful or hurtful depending on what you do with it. I especially like the attention given to addressing those "I blew it" thoughts that can lead to a binge. This is a MUST-READ for anybody who has struggled with losing weight and can't figure out why they are "stuck." Looking at your thoughts and how they affect emotional eating and eating habits is the key to breaking through your weight-loss roadblocks.
