Unlike many other weight loss manuals, Lose Weight For The Last Time is written by a practicing pediatrician who struggled with obesity for years before she discovered “life coaching.”
“In a huge leap of faith, I enrolled in a group coaching program for women who wanted to lose weight and stop overeating. I participated like it was my job,” writes Dr. Katrina Ubell. “I knew that letting life get in the way would impede the transformation I so needed. I was all in. I never missed a coaching call… I didn’t want to blow off this opportunity because I had a hunch that this was the help I had needed all along.”
Ubell learned two things in the program that changed her life: how to change her mind, and how to eat in a way that truly supported her body.
This book offers weight loss techniques that are mostly mental. It does not involve counting calories, measuring quantities, or giving up favorite foods. But it does involve paying close attention to your thoughts and emotions, and consciously choosing what you eat and when.
