Eye Opener

This book was a real eye opener for me. I had no idea about some of the topics discussed in most of these chapters. No diet or lifestyle change works over night, and I think that this book helps explain that in the simplest way.

Overeating is a behavior not a disease!!

If you want to achieve permanent weight loss you must change your behavior...your lifestyle. This book clearly points you to the feelings that drive you to overeat and shows you the best way to alter your behavior so that you are no longer driven by pure emotion when it comes to eating. Another similar book that I loved is "The Power of Positive Habits" it shows you how to change your lifestyle so that you will lose weight...automatically.

Perhaps The Only Book Like This You Need

I'm sorry about the first, very negative review of this book because it just isn't so. This book is not annoying psychobabble or anything of that kind, or I wouldn't have read it. There's no attribution for authorship, but with the number of bad books on weight loss, whoever wrote this should be proud of it. It's thoughtful but straightforward and describes eating problems and their possible emotional causes in very simple, practical, unsentimental terms. Because it's a Weight Watchers book, it also offers solutions -- sensible, flexible, positive ones that so importantly suggest that control is possible if certain reasonable steps are taken. In fact, I'm persuaded that this oldest of weight loss programs really does have the best answers, both the practical and, based on this book, also the more profound insight needed to grasp this complex problem, but with a real working understanding, not New Age gobbledygook. The best insights are often the most simply put, and that's what we have here. Filling your shelves with books on this subject, instead of taking the necessary action, is often just another form of avoidance behavior. Taking the necessary action, combined with good, supportive information, is the best answer for a lot of people. This book is full of real information and may turn out to be the only one you'll ever need.

The proven techniques to Weight loss

Weight Watchers, bless their point-counting souls, recognizes that losing weight is more than a matter of willpower or deprivation (and no one should feel starved when dieting). Truly health weight loss is part of a total lifestyle change. For each dieter, the reasons for overeating will be a little bit different but Stop Stuffing Yourself is an excellent tool to help udnerstand and get in control of overeating. If the Weight Watchers point system is used along with this book and if a little exercise is added to daily activities, then weight loss success is likely. I've tried every diet out there and nothing works like the Weight Watchers program. It isn't a rigid diet but allows for real life situations, including eating at Fast Food restaurants and saving up food choices for special occasions. Stop stuffing Yourself proves that it is possible to eat well and feel comfortable without feeling too full OR feeling starved. Moderation does rule, when it comes to the weight loss game, at least for long-term, lasting results.

Outstanding!

I have stuggled with my weight for nearly twenty years. Most of that time, I've been aware that emotions were at the root of my overeating, but I could never translate that knowledge into any kind of solution.The greatest selling point of this book is the comprehensive quizzes that help you pinpoint exactly where your trouble areas are. The book also provides very concrete suggestions on how to address those underlying needs and move onto a healthier physical and emotional way of life.
