Customer Reviews

what I've been looking for

Fianally after years of being on Weight Watchers and working out every day, then loosing and gaining my weight over and over again. I decided to work on my mind. I tried other selfhypnosis CDs and they did start to sink in. But Body Esteem really gets to the source of the eating and helps to deal with the issues that kept me over eating even healthy food. Sherri's voice is so soothing and the imagry is so vivid I look foreward to going with her into the places she takes you. I am changing how I eat and can see my goals as a reality instead of impossable. I am loosing regularly now and don't have a disire to cheat or self sabatouge my eating. i have recomended this book to others at my Weight Watcher meetings to help them stay on prgram.

Now I Know

I am, like so many others, a veteran of the weight loss "wars". What Sherri's book and CD's made me realize is that a good deal of the "war" I was fighting was within myself. With the insight and tools I have learned, I am beginning to change the way I think about myself, the way I respond in situations regarding food and for the first time I am hopeful that I can continue my weight loss and more importantly-sustain it. Thanks to this wonderful work, I am now gainig insight instead of weight. I recommend this valuable tool as a great guide for weight loss-and life.

Simply Wonderful

This book was a Godsend for me. For the first time since I can remember I survived the holidays without gaining anything! And for me that is saying a lot. Holidays are always a stressful time full of parties and just the kind of food I turn for a little support. After New Year's I always make the same resolution to lose weight. And every year I've lost some and gained it back (plus a few more and another dress size). Yet this year, thanks in large part to "Body Esteem," I know it's going to be different. I can feel it and I also have proof that I can do it (I still fit in my clothes and I've actually lost weight). I haven't been able to do the book as much as I'd like, but I've been listening to the CDs almost every night all comfy in bed. I sometimes drift to sleep, which is great because I normally have a little difficulty getting to sleep anyway, but the messages are certainly sinking in. I'm not going to say its like magic, but it's really given me a new level of self-love and commitment to myself. And it's like I don't have to work at losing weight so much as I just want to take better care of my body. There's a lot of good practical information as well as self-exploration exercises in the book, which I found very useful and the CDs are fantastic. I think anyone would benefit from this wonderful book.

Gets to the Heart of Weight Loss

I'm glad I found this book, it's amazing. It's more than a weight loss book, it gives you the the keys to makeover yourself from the inside out. Sherri shows you how to pin point and heal the negative "heavy" emotions. You also look at your behavior patterns, such as conditioned responses to situations, and find alternative, more positive ways the take back control in your life. It's full of Q & A and techniques to transform your self-image. The CDs that come with the book are a collection of guided visualization exercises. Rich and relaxing, they are an absolute delight. I especially love the "Adventure in Self-Love," "Set Yourself Free" and the relaxation tracks. For the first time in a long time I'm feeling really good about myself and my future! It's such a different feeling then struggling to stay on a diet and berating myself the entire time. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Good book!!!

Although I've just had this for a couple of weeks, I'm really happy with my purchase. This certainly isn't the usual weight loss book. This is a workbook that comes with two CD's and just the CDs alone would be worth the price. They are excellent. The voice on the CDs is so soothing and the journeys she takes you on are wonderful and very vivid. The workbook exercises and the CDs work together to help you connect with the deeper issues behind your behavior. It's working for me anyway, I've lost a couple of pounds and I'm not even "dieting." I just feel like taking better care of myself. I'd definitely recommend this book if you think emotional issues might be responsible for your weight.
