Different
This book is different I guess the best way to describe it. It tells stories and I don't see where I benefited from the book. The author is very judgmental attitude but there isn't real depth as one reviewer stated. I wasn't impressed, I wouldn't say it was a waste of money but my time is what I lost on this book. It just is different.

Extreme encouragement found in these pages!
If you are looking to lose weight or just want to discover why you overeat then this is the first book you should read! It is filled with encouraging stories and takes a closer look at why diets are not enough to keep the weight off. Easy-to-read and encouraging this is an honest, practical book.

Come ci, Come ca
A previous reviewer expounded ad nauseum on the anger and rage that MUST be felt by fat women the world over; almost as though he himself has been involved with women of size and felt their wrath. However, that is more indicative of his own issues (why keep choosing women with these issues? He himself must be overly familiar with anger and rage) than an indicator of the value of the book. I found the book to contain many of the familiar diatribes and platitudes of any recovery program, without the depth. This is not to say that there were NO redeeming qualities; simply that such a simplistic ideology about the reasons for obesity insult the individual who suffers from such a disease. Similar Products
