"I now realize that the first step toward taking control of my weight is knowledge and acceptance.... With control and direction, I have found, you can succeed." —Sarah, The Duchess of York
Including a four–week menu plan and 50 delicious recipes Features Weight Watchers® 1 2 3 Success® Weight Loss Plan Points® Values
From the Inside Flap
You can change your life. Witness the transformation of Sarah, The Duchess of York, who is now entering her fourth year as a spokesperson for Weight Watchers and is recognized as a role model and a survivor who has successfully battled her weight demons and won. In Win the Weight Game: Successful Strategies for Living Well, The Duchess and Weight Watchers explore the different emotional stages of a woman's life and how the issues, situations, and behaviors that accompany each phase can affect both losing weight and maintaining that loss. Weight Watchers members and others who have met and been inspired by The Duchess talk about their own real–life success stories. Each chapter of Win the Weight Game is introduced by The Duchess, who reveals her most personal triumphs and tragedies. She shares the hard–won lessons she has learned about self–esteem and weight loss, with anecdotes about the people and experiences that helped her reach her goals. In "Starting Over at 40," The Duchess reflects on her often tumultuous past, contented present, and hopes for the future. "Body Talk" will show you how the phases of your biological life can affect weight and weight gain, and how to manage those transitions. "My Mother, My Weight" deals with how family members, particularly mothers, can affect a woman's eating habits, while "Good Friends and Significant Others" explores what happens when the people closest to you are threatened by your weight loss efforts. "The 40–Hour Day" takes a realistic look at how the dynamics of work and home affect your emotions as well as your weight. In "Managing Life's Transitions," The Duchess speaks with candor and empathy about life changes, death, and divorce, and offers advice on appropriate and healthful ways to deal with the stress of change so your weight won't suffer. Finally, "Finding Peace" explores how you can take time out to care for yourself when the world around you seems to be spinning out of control. As an added bonus, Win the Weight Game includes a four–week menu plan with simple and delicious ideas for eating for optimum energy and weight loss. And there are fifty brand–new recipes, all based on the popular 1•2•3 Success® Weight Loss Plan with POINTS® values included. Gorgeous color photographs are the finishing touch to help make Win the Weight Game a book you'll use for years to come. Visit us on the World Wide Web http://www.SimonSays.com

Having received a copy of this book via a US pen-pal I'm reading it quickly. The only thing is that in UK we don't use all the same spellings and terminology so that's a bit of a problem but you soon get to work it out. The recipes are good although again some of the ingredients are a bit 'foreign' to us Brits - compromise or translate. The first section with Sarah's motivation is very good and I'm off to start a new way of life with this. The WW 123 Success plan works and this just adds to its repertoire. All in all, a good book and well worth it.

Win the Weight Game
19 Jan 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is a wonderful book. I think that Sarah Ferguson,(teamed with Weight Watchers),does an excellent job discussing the psychological aspects/roots of weight gain, loss, and management. Her personal experiences and feelings enhance the content. Chapter 3, titled, "My Mother, My Weight", is extremely insightful and useful. The weight issue seems to be passed from generation, and I will try to use the information she presents to break this cycle in my own family.

a gentle push towards self-confidence
5 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
While sometimes I pondered over just how much of this book Sarah Ferguson wrote by herself,it is very helpful and practical. Most diet books are so difficult to follow, as good as they are. This one is not. And for the first time I've ever seen in a diet book, the author explains our eating behaviors exclusively from the female perspective. Perhaps the best part of this book is how to prevent weight-teasing and body anxiety in both your children and yourself. The book is very short (I read it in one day and I work!) but I really enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it is that they recommend diet sodas and other aspartame sweetened products in order to cut sugar and calories. They shouldn't promote using chemicals to control weight! Otherwise, a perfectly sensible diet plan I can't imagine not working for anyone.

Thank You Sarah
1 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
I bought Sarah's first two books written in conjunction with Weight Watcers and haven't regretted it. This book too, was well worth the money.
This book addresses the real psycological issues and gives practical, usable advice on how to fight your food demons at 1:00 in the morning and at your favorite restaurant.
Sarah is a wonderful role-model, she's conquered her weight issues and has accepted that you don't need to be pencil-thin to be healthy or attractive.
The recipes, a mixture of exotic and simple, are as always a delight.
She makes WW's 1-2-3 success program well worth the effort.
