We all think we know what we have to do to manage our weight, and blame ourselves when we don't meet the goals we have set. In reality, we need to understand the biology behind the body's regulation of weight to achieve the we are hoping for. And we need strategies for overcoming obstacles: the stress of daily life, emotional upsets, and people who sabotage our efforts or attack our self-esteem. The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Weight Management is a different kind of weight management guide that focuses on helping you stay disciplined and dedicated to your weight management goals by using cognitive behavioral therapy. This approach has been used by therapists for years to treat a diverse range of mental health conditions, and researchers have found that it also helps people make healthy changes that last. This workbook includes exercises and worksheets to help you design a customized weight management strategy most likely to be effective for you based on the habits and lifestyle you have now. You'll set specific goals to improve your body image and your health, and follow a realistic weight management plan designed specifically for you. It is possible to feel good about yourself as you work toward a healthier lifestyle. This book will show you how. Learn to: • Manage situational, emotional, and interpersonal eating triggers • Overcome body image difficulties and critical thoughts • Make changes toward weight management that you actually enjoy • Use support from friends and family to bolster success

Review
"This is a fantastic tool for individuals seeking to find an exit ramp from the freeways and cloverleaves of dieting, weight regain, and more dieting. Completing the program laid out in this book will help almost anyone get their life and eating habits back under control, determine a long-term path toward a healthier lifestyle, and develop a more contented acceptance of their own body. It should be a required tool in every weight management clinic on the planet, and I feel strongly that it should be required reading for every family practice physician and health care provider in North America."
--Julie Janeway, author of "The Real Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery "and coauthor of "The Encyclopedia of Obesity"

This book is great for those people who struggle with how to make the first step. everyone always says "it is a lifestyle change". well what does that mean? how do you take a step in the right direction to make that change? This work book is an easy guidline to show you your own distructive behaviour and helps you replace that with healthy alternatives. I much enjoy this book and hope there is a second one.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the one process of change that has had the most research done to prove it's efficacy. The book offers a lot of help in changing your thoughts as well as addressing body image issues. It also offers different eating plans which I chose not to follow as I use weight watchers and am happy with that. My changing and attitudes have changed drastically in the past couple months and I HIGHLY recommend this book.
