Have you ever "felt fat"? Do you beat yourself up when one bite of cookie dough turns into eating the whole batch? Have you dieted yourself into a larger dress size? Are you frustrated because hours of exercise have produced zero results? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Studies show that 75% of women suffer from some type of eating disorder. Whether it's bingeing, bulimia, or another addiction, the good news is there is hope.

I’m missing out on my life. What’s wrong with me? If that’s ever crossed your mind, and if you know there’s more to life than what you’ve been living, this audiobook is for you. It sucks to acknowledge that you are what’s keeping you from the life you want. You sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment. You know everything you’re supposed to do, and yet you feel stuck - limited by your past, overwhelmed by your future - in a purgatory of your own behavior.

Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. For example, kids are taught to color inside the lines, and any color outside the lines is considered a mistake that must be corrected. Imperfectionism frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.

One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

Binge eating triggers do not cause binges…they cause desires. Each time you recognize those triggers and avoid rewarding them with food you are effectively breaking down the connection between the trigger and the desire until that same trigger no longer produces a craving at all.

Publisher's Summary
What does it feel like to strike it rich in the world of health and wellness? Does it mean improved sleep? What about being able to walk longer, enjoy a day out at the lake, or just keep up with the family on a lazy weekend? Health is wealth, no way around it. Striking it rich in health is always on your terms. What would better health mean to you, right now? Hold on to that answer, because this book will help you get to that destination.
So, let's get to the point: are you getting rich...or finding yourself struggling to keep your head above water? What does your health profit and loss statement really look like at the moment?
If things aren't as rosy as you would like them to be, you're not alone. For decades, the health and fitness industry has been promising you riches, but giving you pocket change. You've probably run into things like, "Lose 20 pounds in 20 days", "Guaranteed six-pack in six weeks", and "Drop three dress sizes in four weeks!" These are just some of the sneaky slogans that are siphoning away valuable health dollars, sometimes right before your very eyes!
It's old.
It's tiresome.
It changes now.
A Missing Piece, Now Revealed
Mainstream fitness programs have one major flaw: they only address one part of the greater health equation. It's all physical, with little variation: just move a little more, eat a little less, and you'll be on your way to a huge health jackpot.

Amazing insights in the Book
The author really has put some serious study into how we are our own worst enemy when it comes to weight loss. Being a guy, I particularly like the sports analogies, though they are presented in such a way that anyone will benefit, even the non-sports minded folks. This book really helped me focus on what is important in my life and has set me on a path to being the best me I can be.

Noisy
Jay should really have forked out to pay someone to narrate. I really wanted to listen to this, but cringed the whole way through as I felt yelled at and his voice is not what I would call soothing. I might have to buy the physical book as I can't focus on the content as the scratchy yelly voice is just too much. I have it on the lowest possible volume setting as well. If I turn it down another notch it will be muted. I'm sure there are some good messages but I can't concentrate on them.
