Staying Sane When You're Dieting (Staying Sane)

By Evelyn M. FazioPamela K. BrodowskyEvelyn Fazio, et al.

Have you ever told yourself that bingeing after 10 p.m. doesn't really count? You're not alone. Good intentions and logic fly out the window when you're hungry. Now, from the front lines of dieting hell, here are true stories to get you over dieting hurdles large and small. Funny, encouraging, and motivating, this book satisfies the dieter's appetite for distraction until they've reached their weight goal. Misery loves company and sometimes the only advice we'll take is from someone who has already stood in our shoes. Whether it is about giving up smoking, trying to lose weight, or having in-laws move in for a month, the Staying Sane series provides readers with just this kind of been-there, done-that commiseration. Each Staying Sane volume is filled with sometimes humorous (laughter is the best medicine, after all ), sometimes inspiring but always sanity-saving success stories of how other people have overcome obstacles or have risen above the situations in question. Practical tips and coping strategies lighten the reader's load throughout. Bibliotherapy of the first order, the Staying Sane guides will support beleaguered readers as they strive to persevere through the duration of their particular challenge.

The Truth

This book is a gem. Staying Sane When You're Dieting skips over the usual overweight-American litany of yo-yo dieting and dieting schemes. Instead, it's filled with real life weight-watching stories that will have you laughing out loud and cringing in recognition. A perfect gift (who among us doesn't think about our weight at least once a day) for yourself or a friend. Here are tales of the Occasional Dieter, the Chronic Dieter and the Never Dieted. A delicious read!

We're Not Alone!

It's nice to know that I'm not alone in going absolutely NUTS tying to lose 10 pounds...okay, 15 pounds. The humorous anecdotes somehow make it easier to continue the battle, knowing I'm not alone in the insane world of dieting. Loved the book.

Hilarious And Sound Dieting Advice!

Fazio & Brodowsky are geniuses at delivering truly great yet very funny, practical advice, and in the most enjoyable, painless format! Where have they been? How clever and imaginative! I'm going to get all their other books!
