 diet sob story August 29, 2008

Did not find this funny or even the slight bit interesting to read,,a real yawner. Its another sob story about a struggling individual who tries to find a diet suitable to her needs. Well, hello, lemon water has been around for centuries, it is noted for cleansing the body and preventing scurvy,,,I drink it daily with my water. So what discovery did the author make? Nothing, just selling another book to gullible women, like myself.

I'm glad this book has been a help to others, but I thought it was terrible. The writing is so humdrum and the characters are so cliche, it's painful. It's also obviously preachy. It just sounds like they took some non-fiction book on good eating habits and put quotation marks around some of the passages, except it's interspersed with corny details, like a baby's pacifier popping out of its mouth and another character putting it back in. I can actually imagine an idea like this working, but it will take someone who shows, not tells, and who can say more, with a lot fewer words. Plus, the authors make it sound so simple. Many people learn to eat fresh food, eat the right fats, etc. but don't deal with what drives them to eat junk even after they've had good food.
Personally, I think you'd do better combining reading Shrink Yourself with books that emphasize eating quality foods (Volumetrics, The Omega Plan, and Chic and Slim [must be ordered online at Barone's site]. And they're a lot better reading. For ficition, I'll stick to Henry James and John Fowles.
 A believer of this book! May 27, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the characters and I like the way the habits were introduced. It would have been overwhelming to have them all at once, so I thought it was perfect the way it was done. Now the storyline, sometimes I wish would have been a bit faster (because it is a novel) but it is an inspiring quick read that lays the points out beautifully. Some people were saying the role of the baby and the husband was pointless and wastes of time. I disagree. I think the point of the baby was to let you know that anyone -- even new moms -- can do this. Those of you with small children know how much work they are (I have a 22-mo old) And the point of the husband was said in the book. He was Karen's wall. His abusive behavior would cause her to reach for the comfort foods. Everyone has a wall of some type, be it a sick loved one, school, bills, job, or anything that makes you reach for the chips, ice cream, cookies, cakes, liquor or whatever substance of your choice. so an abusive husband was hers and she was able to deal with it and break down that wall. I am definitely glad I read this one and will definitely be using the principles here to slim down.
 Love/Hate May 4, 2008
I want to hate this book. It is such a hokey story with totally unbelievable characters. With all of that being said I still find myself wanting to finish the story. I also find I can identify with many of the things said. I am at least half way through and I do feel driven to finish. Maybe I have made losing weight too complicated.....my previous attempts have been much more sophisticated and yet I have had little success. Possibly this will be the answer......just developing the 8 habits (I don't know and I don't feel confident about it but........I hope it does help). I will update in a few months and let you know!!!! I can't believe that I am involved enough in this story to hope that Karen leaves her control freak husband who puts her down all the time. I feel somewhat embarrassed to admit this as the story line is so weak and yet (unbelievably) I am involved on at least some level. I do believe that the habits are essential to permanent weight loss.
 Maybe a book for high schoolers??? May 2, 2008

I did not enjoy reading this book at all. I found the level of writing to be comparable with high school level and the characters to be completely unrealistic. Now with that said, many people with disagree with me because of the content of the book. I think the concept of writing a story about weight loss instead of preaching about weight loss is great, however I think the writer did a poor job. This would be a fabulous book to have middle & high schoolers read for a nutrition class but for adult readers I feel that we deserve to be treated with a bit more intelligence. I had to force myself to finish reading the book and found myself dissatisfied all around.
