A truly brilliant book!
Since turning 35 last year, I had mysteriously put on weight without changing anything to my lifestyle and eating habits. I tried a couple of diets that made me feel weak, hungry, light-headed and did not help me lose weight. It made me feel like a failure, embarrassed and guilty at this progressive and uncontrollable weight gain which I just could not explain to myself, having been effortlessly thin all my life. I was in search of some explanations and useful tips that could help me understand and come to terms with my recent change in appearance. This book has been a true revelation and a blessing! Packed with matter-of-fact information, full of great, sensible advice, it's really helped me understand what has been happening to my body, accept its recent changes, see the positive side of things. It does not promise miracle cures but it certainly gives some no-nonsense advice about eating habits, health matters etc. I've been really impressed with it and have now lent it to my best friend who turned 40 last year and has been faced with the same questions as me. I'd definitely recommend this book for any middle-aged woman who is confused about the changes to her appearance she's going through and is in search of honest answers.

Say good-bye to the guilt!
Finally, an author that lets me know I am NOT weak willed and lazy. For a year I have been exercising and watching my weight only to have gained weight, especially around the middle. I felt much better about myself and my future health after reading Debra Waterhouse's book.

A MUST-READ for every female over 35!
One of the best books I've read in years. It's filled with facts, based on reality, and is easy to read. The author uses analogies, stories and humor to educate the reader. I highly recommend this book to all women over 35 AND their mates. You'll be glad to know you AREN'T imagining things, it's NOT in your head, and you aren't alone! When you finish, you'll know what's happening to you, why, and how to live with it postively. I laughed, I cried, and I've already loaned my copy out.
