In the classic Twerski style, this book avoids the usual self help "psycho babble" and presents the topic in an easy to digest format.(pardon the pun)It isfull of wonderful stories, and colorfulverbal illustrations. Twerski does not examine what we eat, but rather thereasons behind what we eat. He does not "preach" nor blame you but lifts your spirit and encourages you to care for yourself as a means topermanant weight loss.(He sites the main reason for any compulsion is alack of self-esteem.) He explores ways to cope with everyday life andsitutations that can lead to overeating.This is refreshing and rare inbooks of the genre.I have found itpersonally very helpful.A book toread time and time again." Thin You" is filled with insightthat can only come from someone who understands the compulsivemind. Ireccomend it as a solid book of advise for anyone regardless of theireating disposition.It is gentle but honest wisdom everyone can use.

Product Description:
Diets don't work. The pounds may slide off, but for too many dieters, once the food scales and calorie counters have been put away, the weight returns. Dr. Abraham Twerski, a specialist in addictive behavior, shows that it is not lack of willpower that leads to overeating but an absence of self-esteem. To develop healthy eating habits, a person must first develop a strong sense of self.
With his characteristic upbeat style, Dr. Twerski explains:
-The seemingly illogical compulsion of overeating and its connection to low self-esteem
-The origins and evolutions of low self-esteem and how to identify common problems of a negative self-image
-How to rely on yourself, instead of food, in times of stress, anger, and fear
-How to deal with friends and family members who may contribute to and unhealthy self-image and eating habits
-How to find the courage to change the life-long habits and where to get outside help in the form of therapy and support groups
With Dr. Twerski's straightforward and honest approach, losing weight is redefined as gaining a sense of self and banishing diets forever.
