I have read this book and am reading it again. I will keep it as my "Bible" as a weight loss surgery post op. It hit home many times and made me realize that I needed this book many years ago! All the knowledge given will sink in as I read and re-read it. Thank you Connie for being honest and open with the problems and helpful resolutions of being obese. The understanding and mind set you have given me and others reading this book will remain in my mind, heart and soul forever. I will be successful for the remainder of my life having the information in your book and applying it on a daily basis! Gotta do em, my new prase in my new life - GDE's!. It was great meeting you in person as well! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

This book can change your life!

Dr. Stapleton has written a book for everyone who strugles with weight loss. It mainly deals with those of us who have had weight loss surgery. This book provided me with an opportunity to take the baggage of my life, set it on the table and begin to unpack issue after issue and deal with it! It is a life-changer! This book not only gave me some primcples to live by, but helped me in actually IMPLEMENTING THEM!!! How COOL is THAT???? It is a MUST READ for EVERY weight loss patient either pre or post surgery as well as ANYONE who has experienced extreme weightloss.... it will belp you to stay on track and NEVER go back to a life of unhealthy living and obesity!!

Finally! Some help for long term weight loss surgery patients.

I am a weight loss surgery patient and I've been looking for this kind of book and help for years! I found myself nodding my head, highlighting sentences and paragraphs, and feeling understood. There is a huge void in the world of weight loss surgery that is seldom being filled. Those of us who are 3 or more years out of the surgery come to realize that it isn't about losing the weight, but keeping it off and that means dealing with the mental and psychological issues surrounding food, eating and exercise. The literature and follow-up provided seldom addresses those issues. This book does. And Dr. Stapleton has done it in a way that is very accessible. She lays out the issues one by one and gives examples, how our minds tend to work (or don't work), ideas for change and even exercises at the end of the chapters to help us get on the right track to change how we think and do. It's an important book to read and digest wherever you are on your journey toward a healthier life through weight loss, but especially helpful to those of us who are struggling. I've been recommending this book to my friends and coaching clients and highly recommend it to anyone with eating issues. It's a great companion to my own book "Fat No More - Long Term Success Following Weight Loss Surgery" which addresses many of the physical issues and some of the mental issues facing weight loss surgery patients.

Excellent Guide to Learning the Tools You Need To Succeed

This is an excellent learning tool - it helps you to understand what led to your overeating/weight gain - it helps you develop additional tools to combat the bad habits that led to your weight gain - it helps you to see yourself as the wonderful person you are - basically it provides you with the skills you need to succeed! For me, it has been best to read it quickly through once, then go back and work on the steps one at a time. She has a lot of experience with bariatric and weight loss patients. I highly recommend it!
