A Real Winner
I cannot say enough about this book. It changed my life. After years and years of Anorexic tendencies, as well as binge eating, and bouts of being overweight, I feel as though I have finally "got it". Being a therapist myself, I have come to recommend this book to many of my clients, who have come back to me, and said how much it impacted them as well. Dr. Dorie is awesome!
Instead of doing the same 'ole exercise routine at the gym all the time, I now ask myself, "what is my soul hungry for"? Running? Biking? Walking? Weight lifting? I don't weigh myself anymore, and it is the most freeing feeling. Read this book!

Finally an author who gets to the heart/soul of the matter
I've struggled for years with dieting/binging. I have every book on "not dieting" and know that diets don't work but even the "Diets Don't Work" books missed the point for me. This book makes the point. It gets to the heart and soul of the matter. I'm very happy to see someone finally have the guts to write a book like this. Thanks, Dorie! I will gratefully recommend this book for years to come.

It will shake you up...It will wake you up!
How much of your life have you thrown away on dieting, calorie charts, trying-always trying to be thin/good enough? Dr. Mcubbrey showed me how weight obesessed I was with striking examples that were dead-on. It made me cry.I bought this book when I realized that at 43, I was about to embark on my 33rd effort to lose the holiday pounds, get with the program and keep the weight off for good, this time. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Well, I am a perfect example. I am a lifetime dieter. I run marathons to keep in shape. Yet, my journals from High school through adulthood are filled with daily calorie counts. I have 2 sizes of clothes in my closet. When I am wearing the smaller size, I fret about how long it will last before I fail again. When I wear the large size, I fret about when the weight gain will stop, and when I will gather enough courage to lose the weight again. As the author would say, my soul was carrying a huge burden with this issue. The book contains no nutritional information or diet plans. It shows you how much your weight obesession has cost you emotionally. It challenges you to get out of the sickness by focusing inward, learning to trust your self, your soul, instead of being ping-ponged about by the media ideas of beauty.
There are daily exercises that help you refocus your thoughts. I have done most of them and look forward to the rest. I have read all the diets,done all the diets and now I am brave enough to focus on the inside rather than the outside. Read this book. It will shake you up and wake you up! Similar Products
