Blurb (from back cover): "Ruth Frechman's clients have lost thousands of pounds! Does your circle of friends include anyone names Pizza, Pasta, Chips or Chocolate? People have their own special food friends to make themselves feel better. Ruth will show you how to keep your old food friends, make new ones, and melt the pounds away.

"Take a good look at this book. Day One reveals your own personal motivations that will inspire you to new actions and new attitudes. Let your desire to drop the pounds be your guide as you effortlessly lose weight, regain confidence, and have more fun.

"In 30 days...grab those skinny jeans from the back of your closet. Flirt your face off and falaunt your new figure. Go 24/7 with the energy of a teenager. Feel awesome about all that new attention you're getting.

"Ninety percent of Ruth Frechman's clients overate because of their emotions. Understand what drives YOU. With the help of this remarkable book, you will take one small step at a time for 30 days to eat less, exercise more, and re-channel your feelings. Achieving a 10% weight loss can make you look 5 years younger!"

Opinion: I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. Been a WW member off and on for years (currently on).  This book looks at a different topic for 30 days in a workshop journal. You can focus on a topic for as long as you need to. Definitely one of the better "diet" lifestyle change books that I've read.
