One thing I didn't like so much was the book's attitude to certain foods such as wheat. I do love my bread, and I don't actually eat very much of it, so didn't really want to change my bread intake. I did read the section on thinking about bread differently, and some of the things Marisa says were actually quite horrible, and really made me feel a bit sick reading it. I quickly skipped the rest of that section, and felt a bit annoyed that I now felt badly about bread when that wasn't my problem in the first place. I do think you have to be careful about how seriously you take this book and the areas you read regarding food, because it is very strict about all foods.
Another four weeks after my initial weigh -in, I had lost a further 5lbs. So that's a loss of 8lbs in just eight weeks. Considering I hadn't upped my exercise at all and had just changed the way I was eating, I think this was fantastic. I couldn't believe that amount of weight had gone just through minor changes, and I really have to credit this to the book and the positive thinking, attitude to food and the exercises I have continued to do throughout the time. I keep picking up the book and reading certain areas over and over because they are good for me to read, and I feel they are most beneficial to me.
Now I have done the book, I am really glad it has worked for me because I've lost half a stone, gone down a dress size again and have a lot more energy to run around with my little boy again. Just 8lbs has made a real difference to me, and I can imagine that this book could be really successful if you have a large amount of weight to lose. Considering how much people spend on certain weight-loss groups, shelling out just £9.99 (or less) for this brilliant book is a lifetime's investment, and I can honestly say its it's changed the way I think about me and food for life.
A final update, three months on after starting the book, I have now gone a whole 12lbs down, and that was reached after about eleven and a half weeks. I am not looking to lose any more weight now, as I am back to roughly where I was before I had my son, and that's where I wanted to be. I feel so happy with myself now, I see the positives about me rather than the negatives, and I know my fiance has noticed I am a happier person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to people wanting to lose weight, and think differently about food and themselves. It's like a miracle on paper, simply fantastic and I am so glad I tried it!
Please note I said no to borrowing this item because it is something you need for yourself, you do need your own copy as you'll constantly be referring it to it and listening to the CD.
Thank you to the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag!
