"I know what I need to do to lose weight, so why don't I do it?" This question is commonly asked by people wanting to lose weight (and often failing over and over again). Sylvia has the answer: "You don't do it because you don't feel like doing it, and you lack the discipline." Her solution: "You don't have to feel like doing it, you just have to do it." But Sylvia porvides more than this get-tough-with-yourself message. She cajoles, she inspires, she motivates -- she wins us over to a new way of thinking. Sylvia includes the latest findings on weight loss and exercise. Coupled with her common-sense approach to weight loss -- eat less, increase your physical activity -- and her helpful directions around common lifestyle hazards, all make for an eminently doable and rewarding program.
