A Course In Weight Loss For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior— that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop —can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . . This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior.

These 30 lessons will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives.  Finally, Marianne has brought you what you ha’ve been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all!

Weight Loss for Food Lovers This ground-breaking book explains in fascinating but simple terms why most dieters fail at, or actually sabotage, their weight loss plans.  Three key reasons are:  A deep love of food Rebelling against excessive deprivation There are benefits to being overweight “It's Not What's in Your Mouth --- but, What's in Your Mind.” The question is not “What to eat?” --- overweight people know what they should eat! The real questions are the 'Whys':   Why don't we eat what we should?  Why do we eat what we shouldn't?  And why do we sabotage our healthy eating plans?  It's not that people fail diets, it's that diets fail people. And parents are failing their children --- one of the greatest gifts we can give them is the habit of healthy eating so that as adults this comes naturally.
