I haven't read this, but I have the one he wrote with Oprah years ago.

I've found the biggest thing that has helped me is what I am putting in my mouth.

Onjce you get that right, then the rest is easy!

Re: Bob Green's Total Body Makeover

I have the book he did with Oprah, Make the Connection. I've seen him on talk shows and on Oprah a lot. His information is very similar to what we cover here in the ADBB. He talks about finding out why we eat when we are stressed, angry, happy and bored. He basically says that if you change your thinking and your life-style, then you will be more successful following a weight-loss plan. What we already know.

In fact reading his book helped me in the beginning when I totally completely decided to change my life. It helped me to realize that I could use anything and everything as an excuse...but when it comes down to it...I am the one who has to make the committement to either do it or not. I spent a whole life (48 years before Atkins) making excuses and blaming my weakness with food on events, people and anything else I could use. Now, I know that people will upset me, Food will always be out there smelling good and looking delicious...but it is my decision if I eat it or not. Nobody can make me give up my WOE but me. This was a hard lesson for me to learn, but I now understand and have to accept my actions -- whether they are good or bad.

Sorry so long..

Re: Bob Green's Total Body Makeover

Thank you. Sounds like it will be a good read. I'm definitely needing some "life change" discussion.
