In Your Face Honest Weight Loss Worth Reading.
Since reading and following Dr. Phil I have lost 53 pounds and still loosing. He does not coddle you or tell you what to eat, he gets in your face and helps you see why you are eating the way you are.
I have such great respect for this book and beleive if you
really want to loose the weight you will. Dr. Phil is not a pansy when he walks you through this book.. No magic, no special foods, no special diets.. Just honesty with yourself. If you want to you will. If not you find excuses. Excuses are easy, honesty is not.

Physician, heal thyself...
As with many readers, I find the recent trend of diet "gurus" troubling, with many not exactly in the best shape or fitness level advocated in their works. I would like to see a bit more of some of the authors with at least some degree of perceivable fitnesss, like say, Bill Philips, or the pair of Asian co-authors of the international bestseller "This Body This Life".

Yep, it's pretty basic - and vital - information
I am fat because 1) I eat too much and 2) I don't exercise enough. It's as simple as that. I realized through reading this book how OUT OF CONTROL I was with food and how absolutely lazy I'd become. Food is not life. Food is merely a way to keep experiencing everything else in life. Why did I struggle with this for so many years?
This book provided me with the insight to realize many things about my eating & exercising habits and gave me the tools to
RE-LEARN how to take care of my body. I don't know why this book is so life-altering, but it just is. I'm not a fad-diet person, I have NEVER read a self-help book before, so my overwhelming support on this book shocks me. But it's awesome.
I've done the diet/exercise thing before and usually lasted a week before failing miserably. But this time, there's a whole different approach. The challenges I experienced before that would normally crush all hopes of weightloss are no longer a big deal. I accept the challenge for what it is, understand how I need to handle it, and I move on.
BTW, my husband doesn't get it. But then again, he is in perfectly health and body and drinks 6 cans of Pepsi a day and ALWAYS has a candy bar for lunch. He doesn't have to "get it" because his experience is totally different than mine.
