FlyLady: Body Clutter

For anyone who has a very negative self-image and is struggling with the the difference between losing weight because you hate the way you look and losing weight because you want to be healthy and happy, this book is great! 

It's from FlyLady.net.  I ordered it a couple months ago.  It is a little long-winded at times and kind of cheesy (anyone who is familiar with FlyLady will understand why).  But the concepts are simple, and it forces you to look at the reasons why you put on the weight in the first place, and then brings you to a point of making changes because you care about yourself, not because you hate yourself.  Whenever I've made changes out of self-loathing they have not lasted and I've ended up hating myself even more at the other side of it.  This book helps you take baby steps with small, sustainable changes towards loving your body for what it is and treating it right. 

Check it out, and while you're at it, check out FlyLady's website if you aren't familiar with it.  It's a great place to find motivation and easy small changes to becoming more organized and sane.  Definitely worth a glance, especially for you perfectionists out there.
