Just finished the book, but haven't really put it into action yet. The steps seem pretty good and nothing is really all that surprising here. I found the latter part of the book to be a bit boring and repetitive, covering 'special situations' but for the most part just reinforcing the basic concepts with more success stories.

I did copy out some of the end-of-chapter exercises, though, and have bought a journal, so now it's time to get started. We'll see... ( )

I can't quite say that I've read this book--I've only had the pleasure of skimming it. When my friend Melanie told me that the author of _The Artist's Way_ had written a diet book, curiosity overtook me, and I requested it immediately from OhioLINK.It's hard to imagine how to take this book seriously, and it clearly comes from Cameron's own fixation with weight-loss (not an abnormal fixation in this country). But really, if writing three pages each day and taking the occasional walk were enough to reduce my waistline, well . . . I ought to be in pretty good shape by now! ( )

Subtitle: Write Yourself Right-Size. There's nothing particularly new or fresh about the health living advice given in this book, but the idea of bringing writing into the mix to help figure out triggers is worthwhile. Still, very much just like The Artist's Way for weight loss. Not quite as helpful as I had hoped. ( )

Inspirational - about clean eating and writing about eating. ( )

Hikerdee, a writer who gained 57 pounds over eight years despite exercising and drinking water, suggests you save your money and re-read The Artist's Way or The Right to Write if you enjoy Cameron's works for motivation and inspiration. I felt irritation when I read her descriptive phrases to introduce the testimonials. ( )
