My refreshing book takes an exciting and challenging look at the underlying psychological reasons for excess and unwanted weight gain.

This is not about going on a diet but more a tool for you to explore the reasons why you eat the way you do.  My philosophy in life is once you are able to sort things out in your head the rest will fit into place.
