I saw Julia Havey on an episode of "I Lost It" on Discovery Health and thought she was inspiring and I decided to purchase the book.
I can see where if you are an overweight person that has lost ALL hope, that this book could provide some help. Her extreme behaviors surrounding her unsuccessful weight loss attempts are foreign to me. I have always been "chubby", but have never let food control my life to the extent that Ms. Havey did.
Pair that with the fact that, quite frankly, the book is poorly written... I had a very difficult time getting through it.
I do think her process of eliminating vices one at a time is a good practice, but that is really the only positive tool I could glean.
If you are just a normal, run-of-the-mill "chubby" person who is looking for inspiration, I don't think you will find it here. I sure didn't.

What an awesome book. It's not just a read, its extremely interactive, and causes you to reflect and become aware of who you are. I've purchased 4 more and given them as gifts.

No. There isn't a miracle pill that makes you lose all the weight. But this book will help to put you on the right path emotionally. It helps you find reality and gives great tips on how to deal with it. If you are large, admit it and then deal with it. I highly recommend this one.

Don't bother with this book. She promises to let you in on some great motivation she experienced and nothing happens.
Also this book just seems a vehicle to get you to buy her evergrowing junk related to her "plan". Well she didn't need or have all this jazz when she lost all this weight, why should you? She is just trying to make more money. You don't need all that extra stuff she is trying to con you in to. If the book was motivating I would say buy that and use it, but it's not. So it is best to just overlook this whole thing entirely.

I read this book in '03 and it was one of the early PB editions. So perhaps some of the glaring mistakes have been corrected.
First off ALL through the book the word "lose" is misspelled "loose". A glaring oversight and highly annoying. There are a lot other typos as well. Sentences that do not make any coherent sense such as on page 83...the bracketed blurb says "Making unhealthy acts the enemy"...what?! And the CONSTANT and repetive use of excalmation points is almost hysterical. Didn't ANYONE edit this book? Tell her that repetive use of !!!'s is horrible writing and immature? God I would say that every other sentence ended in an ! and sometimes a !!. Silly. Perhaps with the newer editon these glaring errors have been edited out by someone competent.
But really even with corrections the book is of not much use. She rambles way to much on her "tragic" life. Really, it's called a divorce...it's not tragedy...lose the drama. I believe she thinks since she lost so much weight that in some way this qualifies her to give motivation and diet advice. Not in any way. She obviously thinks she's a great motivator but her ideas, thoughts and such on that matter are lackluster and nothing anyone who hasn't read at least 3 diet books hasn't heard ad nauseum.
This book reads like someone down the street wrote it and then printed it out..and handed it out. She can't write nor express herself in any commanding, articulate or interesting way. She really doesn't "say" a whole lot. The cover seems to promise some great motivation and or story and it just doesn't deliver.
And one part I found just a tad hard to believe is where she talks about when she was a newborn. She doubled her weight in the FIRST week? Get real. So she was 14 or so pounds at a week old. Yea I buy that one. Also she said her dad didn't know you have to dilute the formula? What? Since when? Perhaps things were different in the 60's but now no way do you dilute it. That's what they do in 3rd world countries and it causes major malutrition and growth stunting.
The whole book just was horrible and if you have any reading sensibilty or intelligence you will look elsewhere. It's another case of someone losing weight and then thinking they have some mindblowing advice to impart.
