   I read Stacey's book a few months back and I realized how little she dealt with calories and exercise and much more with the psychology of our 'bad habits' and how to break them. Her book can apply to any emotional issues that deal with excess - overeating, smoking, coffee drinking, alcohol, gambling etc. I feel my 'Aha' moment came when I realized that all our excesses are more about our emotional unhappiness and that is the key to balancing our eating problems and any other bad habits or addictions we indulge in. The process of recovering from overeating is so much more than counting calories and I think the way she's written the book is very clear, it's very friendly and it's very helpful. Most importantly it's coming from someone who has walked the walked. I followed many of her suggestions and it's really all about creating a new way of thinking. I highly recommend this book for any type of emotionally based excesses we suffer.
   I hope more people discover 'Why are You Weighting' instead of the pricey and short term fixes like Jenny Craig, Nutri System or any other quick fix - not to mention the numerous weight loss clinics that promise fast results but don't even get close to tackling the real issues of weight - emotionally insecurities and unhappiness.

   I just finished listening to the audio book and I think it's really great. It helped me understand how my thinking is causing my weight. I finally understand what the subtitle "It's not the food that's making me fat" means....it's kinda like saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people", same idea. I realize now that I have been trying to eat-away my emotional issues, and that is never going to work and only keep making me fatter. I really recommend this book to anyone who is overweight.
