If you are familiar with NLP you will know that weight loss is not a motivating goal. It will not work as a goal because it's negative, about loss and what you want less of. Instead this book is about getting what you want more of; self esteem; happiness; pride and delight in your appearance; body confidence; feeling of being young and fit. So this is not a diet and exercise book, it is a workbook to enable you to love yourself enough to care about what you eat and how you exercise.
