Publisher's Synopsis
Are you ready to lose weight? "Of course," you answer. Why else would you be looking at yet another diet book? But, isn't there a part of you that feels discouraged that your previous attempts at losing weight have failed? Do you feel as if you are missing something, some way of acting or thinking that would make losing weight something you could succeed at - not just for a few days or weeks but for the rest of your life? Instead of being told what to eat or what physical exercise you should do to lose weight, this brief book focuses on topics such as: Why do you want to be thinner? How can you enrich and energize your life now, before you've lost the weight? What will your life be like if you don't lose weight? What personal beliefs keep you fat? Do you think that dieting should be easy? Do you think that you only should reward yourself when you reach your goal weight? How do you describe yourself? What does it mean to eat "slowly and consciously?" Why are the rules you create more important than anything an expert tells you to do? Why do you need to pay attention to your life as well as the food that you are eating? Are You Ready to Lose Weight? takes you through a series of actions to accomplish before you start your next diet, while you are following a diet, or even instead of following another structured plan. Think of this as the pre-diet plan that can prepare you for weight loss success."
