Yes, You Can Start Today

Here is a review of my book Stop Overeating Today! by Dr. Lisa Ann Homic, DC. She did a fantastic job characterizing what makes the book unique:

Yes, you can start today. Don't wait anymore. Make the decision and walk your new path with Camile Packer McConnell's easy to use book. As a busy business coach, she realized her clients were very easily addicted to "stress eating." She also shared her own need to "retrain my thoughts and actions." Eating is associated with many societal rituals that are positive as well as negative. This book will help the reader navigate through overwhelming days with smart strategies.

I like this book because it is portable. It can be easily tucked into a purse or briefcase for a quick pep talk any time of the day. There is space for journaling and jotting down triumphs. People don't start new things when it appears to be complicated and scary. There is no need to procrastinate because Ms. McConnell tells the reader to start slowly.

There are 33 straightforward tips to follow in the book. Her first tip: "Don't start running at 60 MPH," is the perfect beginning. She recommends starting with one doable tip and work on it for three days. The changes should be very gradual so retention becomes second nature. Her comfortable program was designed to be pressure free so negative self-talk is avoided.

The tips are sensible and she understands how it feels to be in tricky situations such as eating with friends and when comfort foods are calling. This book will teach the reader how give up the old language of overeating and translate what the body is really requesting for energy and health.

We love food but food can't love back. Stop Overeating Today helps the reader to enjoy food for sustenance only so genuine fulfillment can be discovered elsewhere through companionship and personal purpose.

The book is available for purchase at Amazon.com and Ms. McConnell's website.
