About this title

Review:

"I hit rock bottom in 1996, when I was overweight, in debt and terribly unhappy," writes Sarah, the Duchess of York. She credits Weight Watchers with saving her life by teaching her how to control her habits and her weight--and respect herself. In Win the Weight Game, she teams up with Weight Watchers to offer a support group in print, with friendly, practical advice and a four-week meal plan with 50 recipes. She traces a female's physical and emotional development, and describes how this relates to the development of weight triggers. This is a very practical book dealing with real issues, real situations, and real solutions. How can I keep from overeating when I go home for the holidays? How can I raise a daughter to be a healthy eater? What if my husband is sabotaging my weight-loss efforts? Whatever obstacles are getting in the way of your weight-loss success, Sarah and Weight Watchers have strategies for overcoming them. The four-week meal plan follows Weight Watchers' 1-2-3 Success plan and avoids boring diet food in favor of dishes like Lemon Ricotta Blintzes, Lo Mein Peanut Noodles, Turkey Oaxaca with Spicy Oven Fries, Winter Vegetable Pasta, and Cornmeal and Almond-Encrusted Trout. All recipes include a nutritional breakdown with calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watcher points. --Joan Price

From the Inside Flap:

You can change your life. Witness the transformation of Sarah, The Duchess of York, who is now entering her fourth year as a spokesperson for Weight Watchers and is recognized as a role model and a survivor who has successfully battled her weight demons and won. In Win the Weight Game: Successful Strategies for Living Well, The Duchess and Weight Watchers explore the different emotional stages of a woman's life and how the issues, situations, and behaviors that accompany each phase can affect both losing weight and maintaining that loss. Weight Watchers members and others who have met and been inspired by The Duchess talk about their own real-life success stories. Each chapter of Win the Weight Game is introduced by The Duchess, who reveals her most personal triumphs and tragedies. She shares the hard-won lessons she has learned about self-esteem and weight loss, with anecdotes about the people and experiences that helped her reach her goals. In "Starting Over at 40," The Duchess reflects on her often tumultuous past, contented present, and hopes for the future. "Body Talk" will show you how the phases of your biological life can affect weight and weight gain, and how to manage those transitions. "My Mother, My Weight" deals with how family members, particularly mothers, can affect a woman's eating habits, while "Good Friends and Significant Others" explores what happens when the people closest to you are threatened by your weight loss efforts. "The 40-Hour Day" takes a realistic look at how the dynamics of work and home affect your emotions as well as your weight. In "Managing Life's Transitions," The Duchess speaks with candor and empathy about life changes, death, and divorce, and offers advice on appropriate and healthful ways to deal with the stress of change so your weight won't suffer. Finally, "Finding Peace" explores how you can take time out to care for yourself when the world around you seems to be spinning out of control. As an added bonus, Win the Weight Game includes a four-week menu plan with simple and delicious ideas for eating for optimum energy and weight loss. And there are fifty brand-new recipes, all based on the popular 1·2·3 Success® Weight Loss Plan with POINTS® values included. Gorgeous color photographs are the finishing touch to help make Win the Weight Game a book you'll use for years to come. Visit us on the World Wide Web http://www.SimonSays.com
