Lose weight, get in shape, understand your emotions, and feel good about yourself. These are the interrelated goals of
Get with the Program by Bob Greene, best known as Oprah's personal trainer and coauthor of
Make the Connection.
Using this book is like having a personal coach working with you on emotional and behavioral changes as well as diet and exercise. Greene realizes that if you've had trouble losing weight, you need to understand your attitudes and obstacles before any diet or exercise program will work. So phase one of the program is a self-examination regarding changing your life, including written exercises to help you understand your emotions. Phase two adds aerobic exercise, without changing your diet, to rev up your metabolism. Phase three focuses on the emotional connection to eating habits, including identifying emotional eating triggers and working to overcome them. Phase four adds strength training and dietary changes.
Get with the Program is conveniently spiral-bound, so it's easy to fill in the written exercises and view instructions and photos of the physical exercises. It's highly recommended for people who have had trouble losing weight and are serious about getting in shape--physically and emotionally. --Joan Price
