LJCycle before Freecycle: Weight-loss books

[kfitzwarin]

I think, in the last X years, I've tried every weight-loss eating plan out there.  As a result, I have some number of books from the various plans taking up space in my universe.  I am getting rid of them all

Are any of them on emotional eating? I need to go buy a couple of those. It's the mind crap that will get me I know...

I believe very strongly in synchronicity of various sorts. For some reason I had set aside "I wish I were thin, I wish I were fat" Have you read that one?
If not, I'll send it to you. Hugely valuable book.

That was, obviously, moi.

I haven't read that no. I've read a few good ones though. Honestly I need to go buy a few. I tried getting self help books out of the library but you really need more time with them than you can have from the library.

My number one fave though - Mindless Eating by Brian Wansink. Not even a self help, it's more a sociological study of eating behaviors. It's eye opening stuff.

If you're still using the one you talked about, I'll get one from the library to check out, if not - I'd love to read it. Thanks!

I rather liked "Why French Women Don't Get Fat", the only weight-loss book I have ever read (audiobook from the library). However, I can save you reading it because it summarizes nicely in two sentences: "This author has a strange fetish for leek soup. Other than that, eat a foods that taste good, in sensible amounts."

Works for me. (Leek soup isn't bad -- they serve it a lot in the Netherlands. But I have no desire to eat nothing else for three days to shock my system.)

I'm glad you're getting that useless pulp out of your home. You look fantastic at Pennsic, and so happy!
