Book Giveaway - #1!

Offers of books to review seem to come in waves, and lately, surf's up.  However, after accepting a few and not finding time to read them (what can I say, I'd rather sit and knit than sit and read), I decided to, with the publicist's permission, simply post a brief description of the book, along with a giveaway.  I have several lined up, and they will be popping up on Tuesdays over the next month or so.  Here's the first one:
From internationally renowned intuitive counselor, life coach, motivational speaker, and author Colette Baron-Reid, a four-step, eight-week program for managing empathy overload - the hidden cause of unwanted weight gain.

Through her own personal experience and work with thousands of clients, Colette Baron-Reid understands the real reason many of us struggle to lose weight and keep it off. It isn't that we don't know what to eat or that we don't have enough willpower; it's that we are responding to feeling too much.

Weight Loss for People Who Feel Too Much focuses on the keys to weight loss for sensitive people: managing empathy, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, eating to support well-being, and dealing with challenging situations that can trigger disordered eating. With a simple, practical program, Colette shows you how to release the extra pounds and create a new, healthy relationship with your body, your weight, and food.


I have FIVE copies of this book available for the giveaway!  Just leave me a comment saying you'd like to win one.  I'll have random.org draw the winners and announce them on Friday's post.  Open to U.S. and Canada residents - good luck!

Edit 12/21/12:  Comments are now closed as this giveaway has ended.

FCC alert:  I got nothing for this post, not even a book!  No opinions were posted.  The publisher will be fulfilling the giveaway.

  2. This time I'm not too disappointed :) I'm not know as the most sensitive person. People would call me down to earth with a sarcastic sense of humor so I gladly let this one pass.

  7. Me! Me! Me! I KNOW I'm an emotional eater, and these past few weeks dealing with education specialists for my youngest son, getting him through mid-terms and just generally surviving have been the pits. Toss my name in that virtual hat, please!
