While reading this book Reality Fitness , I felt Ms. Anderson was putting my words on paper. Not only mine but hundreds of women who have struggled with health, weight and nutrition problems. Ms. Anderson has captured the truth about realistic life and draws you in to her book so well that you can really relate to your health and wellness.

I enjoyed reading it because it is a posative look at helping you feel better. Body image isn't how others perceive us , it is how we feel ourselves, and if that isn't being a cover girl model, that's alright. She says it has to do with our spirit, our mind and how we treat ourselves. She also writes that we are all differant, so what is working for me might not work for others.

It is a great inspiration to women to know that someone, Ms.Anderson, has taken the time to tell here realistic story, that has inspired me to think of ME for a change, to become healthy and fit. Even if it is starting out taking baby steps.

This book reminds me of the saying "Life is hard by the yard, but by the inch its a cinch". The author does away with the all-or-nothing approach and instead focuses on manageable change. She advises keeping a food journal, becoming aware of your current habits and finding ways to make changes. She also advocates a fitness plan that you can actually live with. This book will not make you feel like a failure if you can't stick to a stict regime. Highly recommended!

It's about time a fitness professional has come forward with a real philosophy for real people. I am a fitness professional myself and believe that the approach and attitude Nicki Anderson took towards changing her life can serve as an example for anyone who has ever tried or is contemplating changing their lifestyle to a healthy and happier one. It's not just starting an exercise program or counting calories...it's changing who you are. We have to be learn how to be positive WITH ourselves before we can start doing positive things FOR ourselves. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever considered a healthier and happier way of life. I hope that is EVERYBODY.
