I've been trying diets for years to lose weight. It wasn't until I read the Real Solution Workbook that I made the connection between my failures with these diets and my continued weight gain. The Real Solution Workbook helped me admit to myself that I was ashamed of myself and eating was a means of consolation for me. Once I was able to deal with my underlying emotional issues through simple daily writing exercises, I didn't need to binge eat anymore. I have lost weight. But more importantly, I feel better about myself and much more empowered!!!

I paid the outrageous price for this book with hope that it would help me work through the causes of my bingeing. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!! Every chapter just repeats the same thing over and over using the last word an overweight person wants to hear - SHAME. The word shame is in this book thousands of times. I have enough shame facing the world in my overweight body. I did not need to pay $ 45 for a book to tell me that!

The worst, most insulting part of the whole purchase was that the book itself looks like someone made it in their basement. The pages are photocopied and in my copy of the book the pages are not even IN ORDER, page 47 is followed by 64, etc.

What a mess! Save your money!

I have been struggling for many years with my weight and "shame". I have learned I used food to avoid pain, difficult situations, and any thing else I don't want to do. My life had become one big eatfest to avoid living. This workbook was one of my best investments yet. Thanks again for the best help I have found.
