 Good book, and CDs are good too ( catizzy )
If you cannot find the original, 1985 version of Thin Within by Judy Wardell, get this book. Body Esteem is a workbook with several detailed exercises to help you work through issues you may have that could be preventing you from getting rid of that weight, along with pages of useful tips and advice. The CDs are also pleasant to listen to, which is not always the case with this type of book. Even if you do have Thin Within, this is a good companion to it.
My only quibble with this book is that it is into banning certain foods (albeit mostly junk foods and certain ingredients). I like the Wardell approach much better--if you know you can have whatever you want, whenever you want, you eventually don't want it as much. Yes, of course make better choices where possible, but the occasional indulgence is not going to ruin an overall healthy eating/exercise plan.
4.5 stars.

what I've been looking for
Fianally after years of being on Weight Watchers and working out every day, then loosing and gaining my weight over and over again. I decided to work on my mind. I tried other selfhypnosis CDs and they did start to sink in. But Body Esteem really gets to the source of the eating and helps to deal with the issues that kept me over eating even healthy food. Sherri's voice is so soothing and the imagry is so vivid I look foreward to going with her into the places she takes you. I am changing how I eat and can see my goals as a reality instead of impossable. I am loosing regularly now and don't have a disire to cheat or self sabatouge my eating. i have recomended this book to others at my Weight Watcher meetings to help them stay on prgram.

Now I Know ( magaroo )
I am, like so many others, a veteran of the weight loss "wars". What Sherri's book and CD's made me realize is that a good deal of the "war" I was fighting was within myself. With the insight and tools I have learned, I am beginning to change the way I think about myself, the way I respond in situations regarding food and for the first time I am hopeful that I can continue my weight loss and more importantly-sustain it. Thanks to this wonderful work, I am now gainig insight instead of weight. I recommend this valuable tool as a great guide for weight loss-and life.

Simply Wonderful
This book was a Godsend for me. For the first time since I can remember I survived the holidays without gaining anything! And for me that is saying a lot. Holidays are always a stressful time full of parties and just the kind of food I turn for a little support.
After New Year's I always make the same resolution to lose weight. And every year I've lost some and gained it back (plus a few more and another dress size). Yet this year, thanks in large part to "Body Esteem," I know it's going to be different. I can feel it and I also have proof that I can do it (I still fit in my clothes and I've actually lost weight).
I haven't been able to do the book as much as I'd like, but I've been listening to the CDs almost every night all comfy in bed. I sometimes drift to sleep, which is great because I normally have a little difficulty getting to sleep anyway, but the messages are certainly sinking in. I'm not going to say its like magic, but it's really given me a new level of self-love and commitment to myself. And it's like I don't have to work at losing weight so much as I just want to take better care of my body.
There's a lot of good practical information as well as self-exploration exercises in the book, which I found very useful and the CDs are fantastic. I think anyone would benefit from this wonderful book.

Gets to the Heart of Weight Loss
I'm glad I found this book, it's amazing. It's more than a weight loss book, it gives you the the keys to makeover yourself from the inside out. Sherri shows you how to pin point and heal the negative "heavy" emotions. You also look at your behavior patterns, such as conditioned responses to situations, and find alternative, more positive ways the take back control in your life. It's full of Q&A and techniques to transform your self-image. The CDs that come with the book are a collection of guided visualization exercises. Rich and relaxing, they are an absolute delight. I especially love the "Adventure in Self-Love," "Set Yourself Free" and the relaxation tracks.
For the first time in a long time I'm feeling really good about myself and my future! It's such a different feeling then struggling to stay on a diet and berating myself the entire time.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
