A MUST READ FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE! by Debra L. Kirby

This book is truly what it claims to be. I believe everyone should read this before they even try on their own to lose weight; especially if they are emotional eaters, or for some reason have had weight issues and don't know why. This book really gets down to the why and how to reprogram your thinking process about food. It's changing my life and I'm not even close to reading 100 days worth yet. I intend to read it several times. ... A great daily devotional (learning & training tool) for any one that desires a healthy approach to food and lifestyle.

(This may be lengthy, but it may be the turning point you need...) I firmly believe you have to be at "the right place" to achieve successful, long-term anything. That holds especially true for changing habits and addictions. Food is one of the most difficult "habits" to break because it is essential to exsistance. I am on the journey to permanently loose 160lbs. At one point I was 65# down, but ended up gaining 5# back (putting me in the 250# range). I gave up for a year, too frustrated, too willing to believe an MD who told me I would never be able to lose that amount of weight without becoming obsessive. I maintained at 250# for that year, but then suddenly gained an additional 10# last fall. I struggled for several months to lose it, but wasn't seeing the scale move. Not being able to loose those 10# terrified me. It meant my body had a new set point and it was very content to stay there. That was my turning point, being 47, wanting to look the way I feel and the way my husband makes me feel, wanting to move the way I know I can, and knowing that the older I got, the more difficult it would be to lose weight and minimize loose skin that comes from dropping 150+ pounds. I went to a second MD to inquire about phentermine. His first response was to ask if I'd ever considered stomach banding. I work in healthcare and have not known anyone who's gone through the procedure without complications and know the majority have regained most of what they've lost (my personal observations). Not something I wanted or could afford to try. My choice to utilize prescription medication was to lose some pounds so I could exercise without pain, and to have a fairly immediate way to be motivated while I worked on rewiring my relationship with food. My way of going cold turkey and having time to restructure my habits. I have been on phentermine for 3 weeks and have lost 10# without thinking too much. I am in process of committing to daily exercise and finding out how to eat like a "normal" person who can maintain a healthy body weight. I hope, too, I'm retraining my body to function normally instead of on the roller coaster of eating and drinking orgies I've ridden for over 25 years. Like a good fat girl, I have shelves of books on diet and weight, blah, blah, blah, Ginger... It's the old, "you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince" thing. I am grateful Amazon has a secondary book market that I can purchase and then re-sell all those frogs. This book, 100 Days of Weight Loss, is my prince. It's helping me rework my thought process and relationship with food. I'm not one to buy into gimmicky, psychological stuff. I don't have Post-its on my bathroom mirror with, "You're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you." But what this book is selling sticks with me. It's made me take the step to being committed. It's played into my tenacious nature by making me say, "I'm going to do it anyway." I'm beginning to analyze my eating as to whether I'm fueling or filling. It's making me analyze the emotions I'm struggling with when I do just "fill". And a HUGE step for me, I'm throwing away food!! I've looked a long time for the resources that will compliment a turning point in my weight-loss life and lead me to the body I want. I feel strongly this book is the most valuable I've found. It's a watershed time for me and this book is motivating me to live my life differently. That's crucial because my life needs to be different then what I'm living as an obese woman. I don't know if 100 Days of Weight Loss can have the same effect for you. Perhaps it's your toad. But, I think it's worth buying to see if it's your prince. All I can say is, thanks Linda Spangle for making me a princess. I am heartfelt grateful. (And about that loose skin issue, you can read my 5/8/09 10:19 and 12:24 duel postings to: [...] to see what I'm doing and recommend to minimize your need for surgery. I know this is a major issue for people with an substantial amount of weight to lose.} My best to all of my sisters on the journey, missy soo

I found this book enabled me to recognize some of the main reasons which caused me to fail on previous diets. It was easy to digest, and the daily readings and tasks were easy to follow and kept me focused. The one day at a time approach is making dieting less onerous.
