Summary: A changed mindset
Comment: This is really an amazing book. I was initially skeptical of it since I was burnt by too many diet fad books (Body for Life being one of them), I was reluctant to try it out. Still, I did, and it was a major risk since I live in Asia, and it takes great expense to have it shipped to me.
Well? No regrets. I've since learnt to relax, ditch the scale, stopped being so punishing to myself and love myself. I now love exercise, sleep better, am happier and no longer think happiness is tied to the number on the scale or how small my hips are. Deborah Low has a message: it's not the diet, it's the mindset that helps you lose weight. The best thing is that unlike many fitness gurus who sound vague when they try to help you achieve that mindset, deborah low guides you to it through a series of simple exercises. The nutrition bit is a little skimpy though. However, you can easily get proper nutrition advice from other books (and mind you, proper nutrition, not fad diets like Atkins, what nots.)
However, if you think it's easy work "lovin'" yourself, be warned. It's not as easy as it sounds. Strangely, it is tough work to love yourself. It requires mental discipline to stop negative thoughts about yourself, and it also requires discipline to FORCE yourself to slow down and not steal that extra minute to read an e-mail before bed. I still struggle with this, but rereading Deborah's book helps me refocus. Great book.

Summary: So Refreshingly Positive and Inspiring!
Comment: We all know the weight loss deal: eat less, move more, stay away from junk food. But there is so much more to the problem or we'd all look like our favorite actress or rock star. I was so relieved and impressed that this book took a whole fresh approach to inspiring the reader to improve their life and their health, beyond the typical diet book facts.
I know what to eat and that I need to be active, but I needed support from someone who knows what it's like to get stuck wanting to do the right thing, but failing to act from a place of self-respect and love. This book gave that to me. What a wonderful life prescription. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Dodging a Donut
Comment: Yesterday, I went to the bookstore in search of another dieting book. I looked at some of the low carb, high motivation - just do it books. As I was sitting with them to decide which one I wanted to try this time, I started experiencing my usual anxiety and overwhelming desire for a donut (truth is a box of donuts). I put the books back on the shelf. I had every intention of leaving the bookstore to get some donuts when I spotted Deborah Low's book, Peace, Love, and a 24" Waist. Something said take a look at it. As I read it, I noticed that I started to feel better. I was feeling a lot better. I bought the book and went home without buying donuts. This was a realization of major proportions for me because once I get that feeling of wanting donuts I have never had anything stop me from eating them. I am only one-third of the way into the book so far but I have to stop a moment and tell you how good this feels to me. I thank you, Deborah Low, for doing your work in the world.
