Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly This revamped version of a 1999 self-published paperback of the same name offers Havey's success story coupled with weight loss advice and a new menu plan section. The author, a formerly overweight mother of two, received an anonymous letter detailing an affair her husband was having with another woman. Havey divorced her husband and turned her life around-by losing 130 pounds through a motivational plan of her own design. The secret to successful weight loss, according to Havey, is to identify individual goals and develop a positive attitude by engaging in enjoyable activities-walking, meeting a friend or gardening-instead of eating. Havey recommends exercising and offers healthy recipes and advice on supplements; she believes in losing weight through self-motivation rather than via the diet of the moment ("Live the life, not the diet"). The author has parlayed this helpful, commonsense weight loss program into a career that includes advertising her books and diet aids on cable TV and maintaining a Web site where she promotes motivational tapes and CDs. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description Topping the scale at 290 pounds, Julia Griggs Havey resigned herself to a matronly figure and plus-size clothes. But when she read the anonymous note informing her that her husband was having an affair, Julia realized it was time to take control of her life. Her mantra became self-improvement through self-motivation and she began by taking off the weight more than 130 pounds and divorcing her wandering husband. Now, Julia shares the weight-loss secrets that have already helped thousands. From... .gif){kind=small} read

Julia does not ask you to give up everything and change immediately. She does not expect you to start your exercise program by running a marathon. Her premise is to take small steps to begin to incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine. She presents common sense principles and ideas in this book that will lead to a healthy lifestyle, with the by-product of your new healthy lifestyle being happiness, awareness, power, success-and oh, yes, weight loss goes along with all this other good stuff. Check out Julia Havey's website. This will give you an idea of what her ideas are all about concerning self-improvement through self-motivation. Her tapes are inspriational, educational, and will help you through many weight loss hurdles. She will respond personally to your needs and questions about developing a healthy lifestyle. Julia Havey's book, tapes, and website helped me lose 40 lbs. She has helped others lose a lot more weight than that. At 160 lbs. my life was a mess, I had no energy, I was miserable, and I didn't think I would ever see 150 lbs. again, much less 120. As I read Julia's book I realized I could make small changes like drink more water and become aware of my food choices. I could slowly add activities to my life at my pace-it was fine to start with activities that I could do for however long I could do them and then as I got stronger I could add activity at my pace. This is not a diet program; this is not a plan that will set you up for failure if you do not follow it to the letter. This is a way to incorporate aspects of a healthy lifestyle into your life at your own pace to improve your life and your health. This book will help you change your life for the better. This is not something that will end when your reach your weight loss goals. This is a lifestyle change that will allow you to have your health and be fit for the rest of your life. The successful person gets up one more time than the person that fails.
If you have tried over and over, for years and years to try to lose weight
and have given up and think nothing will help you I urge you to do
yourself a favor and read this book, look at Julia's website, please don't
give up. You are worth the effort. Your health and your life can
change-you have the power within to succeed. This book will be your guide
to doing that.
