The whole idea of this book is that diets are not going to work, especially if you can’t get past hating yourself for your appearance. It sounds like a simple idea, but there is a lot more to it than that. This book covers a lot of areas in how we hate ourselves and punish ourselves. It also discusses how we can get over these messages and start making healthy progress to weight loss.

I have been overweight for several years and seem to find the same results. I may try a diet just to crash and burn horribly within a couple days, try to start exercising but take a huge leap and almost kill myself off and never do anything again, and of course the verbal punishment from eating desserts to refusing to buy bigger clothes because I just keep gaining weight. When I started reading this book, it started hitting home right away. The exact behaviors that were being described were what I was doing to myself.

I started to realize where I was messing my weight loss up. It has made me more aware of what happens and how I react. Although I do find myself slipping back into the negative behaviors, thanks to reading Loving Yourself Thin, I can identify those behaviors and modify them before they get out of control.

I really liked this book and I recommend it to anyone that has be struggling with weight loss issues. There is so much more involved when you are trying to loose weight and this book treats the mental aspect that is not talked about that much.

This is one book that I think should be a must for anyone serious about weight loss.

I received a copy of this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review. After I started reading the book, I found that I needed a physical copy to help me work through the different exercises. I purchased a physical copy and found it was much easier to follow the point of the book.

If you are looking for menus and recipes, this is not the book for you. This book deals with feelings rather than food. It reiterates that emotions drive most people to eat and overeat. By controlling and directing emotions, many people may lose weight. Each chapter ends with "Homeplay", not "Homework" to encourage readers to answer questions about their own lives. The book underscores the necessity to address more than just the number of calories consumed for a successful weight loss program.
