Editorial Reviews

Review

Sherri Dawson is amazing, and the information and system she has developed is something you need to hear...not just about weight loss, but about every goal in your life. --Kim Murphree, 1320AM KLWN Radio Talkshow Host

Please get Sherri's book, it is wonderful. --Karen Bentley, Weight Loss Author and Host of My Thin Lifestyle

The Body Esteem program is revolutionary. I can say this because I have been in the weight loss business for over twenty years. In counseling my clients I found that the majority of them had emotional triggers that were not being addressed and resolved. I believe the missing element that is necessary to make weight loss successful and permanent is a deep fundamental insight into the hidden motivations behind overeating. Body Esteem will help you discover and overcome the roadblocks to your success. --Lorna De Moor, Former Diet Center Owner and Professional Weight Loss Counselor

I'm glad I found this book, it's amazing. It's more than a weight loss book, it gives you the the keys to makeover yourself from the inside out. Sherri shows you how to pin point and heal the negative "heavy" emotions. You also look at your behavior patterns, such as conditioned responses to situations, and find alternative, more positive ways the take back control in your life. It's full of Q&A and techniques to transform your self-image. The CDs that come with the book are a collection of guided visualization exercises. Rich and relaxing, they are an absolute delight. I especially love the "Adventure in Self-Love," "Set Yourself Free" and the relaxation tracks.

For the first time in a long time I'm feeling really good about myself and my future! It's such a different feeling then struggling to stay on a diet and berating myself the entire time.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Although I've just had this for a couple of weeks, I'm really happy with my purchase. This certainly isn't the usual weight loss book. This is a workbook that comes with two CD's and just the CDs alone would be worth the price. They are excellent. The voice on the CDs is so soothing and the journeys she takes you on are wonderful and very vivid. The workbook exercises and the CDs work together to help you connect with the deeper issues behind your behavior. It's working for me anyway, I've lost a couple of pounds and I'm not even "dieting." I just feel like taking better care of myself. I'd definitely recommend this book if you think emotional issues might be responsible for your weight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful, January 4, 2008

Bellissima "Mrs. Bella" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Body Esteem: Weight Loss Through Self-Discovery (includes 2 Audio CDs) (Paperback)

This book was a Godsend for me. For the first time since I can remember I survived the holidays without gaining anything! And for me that is saying a lot. Holidays are always a stressful time full of parties and just the kind of food I turn for a little support.

After New Year's I always make the same resolution to lose weight. And every year I've lost some and gained it back (plus a few more and another dress size). Yet this year, thanks in large part to "Body Esteem," I know it's going to be different. I can feel it and I also have proof that I can do it (I still fit in my clothes and I've actually lost weight).

I haven't been able to do the book as much as I'd like, but I've been listening to the CDs almost every night all comfy in bed. I sometimes drift to sleep, which is great because I normally have a little difficulty getting to sleep anyway, but the messages are certainly sinking in. I'm not going to say its like magic, but it's really given me a new level of self-love and commitment to myself. And it's like I don't have to work at losing weight so much as I just want to take better care of my body.

There's a lot of good practical information as well as self-exploration exercises in the book, which I found very useful and the CDs are fantastic. I think anyone would benefit from this wonderful book.
