Let me start by saying that when I first picked up my kindle to read this book, it was with the intention to read a few pages just to get a sense of the content. A couple of hours later and I was still reading. So what's so good it made me stick with it and not go off and do one of the numerous things awaiting my attention? Well, it has a great intro which immediately drew me in and made me feel that this was someone who truly understands what it's like to be overweight and unfit! Her physical description of her former self closely matches mine at its worst. The author uses intelligent language without being patronising. The book suggests making one change at a time - good advice and yet not something one hears too often, the usual diatribe being about flinging everything aside and becoming an exercise and diet freak overnight. I've done that sort of ultimately overwhelming thing many times, lost maybe 50 pounds and yet within a year or two it's all back on. Is what is advocated easy? NO... but then most of us who have been on the diet treadmill know there is no easy way, in that sense the advice is the same as every diet and exercise book will tell you, eat less and move more. What the author does do is help raise your motivational levels and showing how simple steps one at a time and changing priorities makes the difference. The statement that most of us see exercise as a chore is a true one but the counter statement that we also do plenty of other things we don't like without the positive benefit that exercise brings really hit home for me. A sensible no-nonsense approach to health makes this book a real winner.
