Summary: Not everyone is one size fits all
Review: This book is a very 'one size fits all'. according to the writer, it *appears* she suggests that everyone with a weight issue has these 6 issues and that unless you fix these 6 issues in the way SHE states, you can not be cured. It blames your parents for their lack of 'insert what ever here'. Not everyone has these exact issues and writing a book that reads like a vcr manuel without no real guidance doesnt help I dont feel. I got nothing at all out of the book and was rather put off by her claiming to understand the root of all the problems with overweight people. I dont appreciate the blame being placed on parents. We, ourselves, are responsible for the most part. I dont like the 'know it all' approach. I didnt even get through the entire book before I took it back to the library. It was dull and boring with no real help of HOW to go about doing what she suggests.personal opinion only.

Summary: The Solution by Laurel Mellin
Review: When this book first came out a few years back, I bought it, impressed to see an emotional approach towards weight loss, outside of diet and exercise prescriptions that we have all read. I have struggled (for what seems like) forever, with my weight and I had some success at the time when I worked through this book. I liked it although some of the language is a bit 'gimmicky' which for me was a turn off. Recently I bought another book called the Quest for Peace, Love and a 24-Inch Waist by Deborah Low, and have been really excited to see a complete spiritual, emotional approach that again, makes you work through certain 'exercises' but gives the reader a deeper insight into our weight loss desires and failures. Plus, teaches us to make peace with ourselves along the way. They are very inspiring to do, and you get excited working through them. No matter how you look at it, losing weight for life can be tough. The Solution may not fix all your problems but with 'Quest', you've got an incredible start.
