This is the first book that really inspired me. If you are looking for a boring how to book--this is not for you--buy an atkins diet book or some other "amazing weight loss book that will ensure you lose weight this time around" book (translation ANOTHER waste of MONEY & TIME). This book deals with the fundamental issues involved with why you gained so much weight and how to get it off with a little honesty, humor and plain old fashioned hard work.

My hope is that readers will reach out and truly address techniques that lead to healthy weight. There is no magic formula but if a reader can truly be willing to address the full spectrum of elements that go into being and staying healthy with your eating style then you have true diet power. A wonderful companion book is Not Your Mother's Diet: The CURE for your EATING ISSUES Rating: 4 / 5 An entertaining book on weight loss and a quick read.

I did not find the inspiration I was hoping for as I have with other books. Writing down one's journey through weight loss is a daring move yet not all are worthwhile for everyone to read. I am in my late twenties and feel maybe this book is better for someone in their 30s or so given the age of the writer. Rating: 2 / 5 I had trouble finishing the book.

What I got was a feeling of DUH!! You mean, I have to eat right and exercise to lose weight? Of course we all know this. I don't know what inspiration I was hoping to gleam from the book, but I got little out of it. Overall, it was a fun read. . . but hardly helpful.

If only I had kept my own diaries! I'm also her second-toughest critic, and I know this is her best book yet. But, in the interests of Full Disclosure, please be advised that the hamster, Baby Dear, was mine! Her real name was Cleopatra, though she was probably not a reincarnation of the Egyptian queen.
