How to Lose Weight without Dieting
27 Feb 08

For many of us our battle with weight and overeating is the symptom of something deeper that we need to understand. It's like being in a boat with a hole in it - when you diet you are just bailing water. To make the changes which last a lifetime you have to fix the hole.

“Many people who struggle with their weight suffer a sense of isolation and low self-esteem. I know because I count myself among them” says author and performance coach Jessica Robbins. She continues: “I thought I would have to struggle with my weight forever, I even considered suicide. Only the thought of the paramedics looking critically at my fat dead body prevented me. It's shocking to think that vanity saved my life, but that was the case.”

Brought back from the brink Jessica realised that, like millions of others, her weight gain was a symptom of a much deeper problem: low self esteem and confidence. Successful in other areas of her life, this one always beat her, but not any more.

She set off on a journey of personal discovery and along the way learnt the powerful techniques she reveals in this book. They helped her develop a strong sense of self esteem, nurture her confidence and finally become the size she wanted to be and stay there, free from the tyrannies of diets forever. She went on to use these techniques with clients who have discovered just how quickly they could transform their lives and reach their goals.

The decision to write this book came when a close friend confided her suffering at the hands of what she called the “monster”, her overeating. Jessica asked her friend whether she had ever considered the possibility of taming the monster and her eyes lit up. “It was then I realised I had to write the ultimate weight loss book - the last one anyone would have to read. The one that would solve the obesity crises and help people live life to the full.”

This then is not a diet book. There's no 14 day plan, no calorie counting, no special menus, no food weighing and no complex point counting schemes. How to Lose Weight Without Dieting delivers the keys which will empower you to lose weight. You will learn new, easier ways of living and strategies for satisfying your cravings in positive ways, that don't involve food.

Being overweight or living in fear of putting on weight is like being in quicksand: the more you struggle to climb out, the deeper you sink. But Jessica Robbins knows it doesn't have to be that way: “After years of hating myself and my body, I was able, within a surprisingly short time, to let go of my previous habits and step into an amazing new world where food is just food and I can appreciate myself for who I am. The exhausting and painful war between my body and my mind came to an end and now, in this book, I share with you the secrets I learnt.”
