Excellent read~!

Rhonda Britten hit a soft spot for MANY women in this book, including myself! I was once trapped inside of 'my body thoughts' and needed freedom. With my diligent work and this book as one support, I broke through and got on with my life.

Rhonda Britten is a strong role model for us all!

Good exercises and examples

I like Rhonda, I looooooved Starting Over and wished I could be on the show. My friend and I worked on the exercises in the book, and suddenly I saw I wasn't "that" horrible. I'll never like my belly and inner thighs, but I appreciated my body for carrying me and functioning right. I recommend you see "The Real Dirty Dancing" while reading this book. It's a short documentary about 5 young Londoners taking burlesque classes -- and it's all about loving your body as it is.

Not a weight loss book!

This is not a weight loss book, but it is a self-help book. You will be taken on a journey of self-love and self-acceptance. Rhonda presents simple strategies for accepting what you can not change and changing what you can. A great read with real stories about real people.

A decent effort

I do not watch TV, so I was not familiar with her work on "The Starting Over House" until I read this book. I had caught the show once or twice while traveling, so I quickly made the connection between the life coach I'd seen, and the author. Rhonda writes in a personal, easy-to-read style that makes her readers feel like she's sitting down with them over a skinny latte at the local Starbucks. She puts up no pretensions, and readily shares her less-than-glamorous personal history and struggles.

The strengths of this book are Rhonda's approachability and sound advice. Where it falls a bit short is I feel it tries to do too much at once. Rhonda's personal struggles are interspersed with those of the participants in The Starting Over House and the women who shared their feelings about their bodies for the photos at the beginning of each chapter. I think the book would have been stronger if she had stuck to one approach -- just her own stories, or just those of the clients she's helped. Instead, I felt a little like a pingpong ball, zipping between one story here and Rhonda's story there.

All that said, Rhonda's message is simple and clear: You can live in the NOW, or you can put off your "real life" until you lose five, ten, fifteen, or more pounds. The life in that future time is less important than your life in the here and now, so you may as well get moving.

Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing your story so honestly. You will help a lot of people.

Loving my body as it is!

This book really helped me to work thru my body issues especially as I'm losing weight. I'm not as self-conscious of how I look or what I'm wearing or what do they think of me. It's so liberating!
