How many of you out there have read the above book? I bought it last year, and got about half way through and then gave up. Since I have more time this summer (I am currently unemployed), I decided to give it another whirl. I will finish it tonight. I don't have much longer to go. I don't know quite what I am going to get out of this book. I'm so confused. It's like so much of what she says makes sense to me...but I"m not sure how I am supposed to put any of what she says into practice. Just wondering if anyone else out there has been able to move her insights into their own lives...and how you actually go/went about it. Thanks.

    I recall there being a book club discussing this book, I'm sure it'll come up easily under the search feature.

    I keep meaning to put a hold on it at the library but just haven't yet.

    Pretty deep book from what I had read from the Women on here that were in the discussion group, sounds interesting. Love her as an author, her life was not easy, she's overcome so many of her own demons.

    Read it last summer, loved it, what I got out of it is that once we reach a point of acceptance, make peace with our bodies, the weight will naturally come off, regardless of what method we choose. I haven’t achieved this yet, hopefully for all of us here, we’re on the verge....I may be totally off???
