I didn't like her diet plans - too extreme for me - but I can get a diet plan anywhere. What I really appreciate about this book is her conviction that I CAN do it, and she tells me how. I also loved her comments on how to deal with a day gone bad by appreciating the positive and dealing with the negative without wallowing in self-pity. I first read this book a couple of years ago and I return to it when my resolve needs bolstering.
