jud brewer has that brilliant combination of nerdy smarts, dry wit and warmth abounding. he presents a book to those of us who have spent our lives struggling with our relationship with food.
the first part of the book is about the science and his programs and his patients. and himself.
the second part of the book is a 21 day program, which one can read and digest as quickly or as slowly as one wants. i chose to read through once and then go back and begin again, taking more time to really digest the details, both what was being offered and what was housed inside of me. this book is about becoming mindful and present with oneself and our bodies, and how to take that awareness and create new helpful habits to replace old unhelpful ones. this book defuncts willpower, counting calories and the food police. one of my favorite parts is about the "committee" that lives inside our head, talking all the time about what we should do (diet and restrict), how we should feel (ashamed and guilty) and how to quiet and disband that committee, one voice at a time. don't hesitate to pick this book up. it's a good one!
