Cookie Rosenblum - Clearing Your Path to Permanent Weight Loss

Cookie has written a book that can change your life if you apply what it teaches. Losing weight does not have to be a struggle of frustration and hate. She shows you that it can be a journey of curiosity and wonder that reveals the reasons you are overeating and not living at your ideal weight. Once you discover why, the how to change becomes so much easier. Your best tool for losing weight is your mind, and Clearing Your Path to Permanent Weight Loss shows you how to use it.

~Brooke Castillo, author of If I Am So Smart, Why Cant I Lose Weight?

Cookie Rosenblums book, Clearing Your Path to Permanent Weight Loss , is a wonderful guide for anyone who is tired of dieting, and looking for a fresh perspective on lasting weight loss. Rosenblum is empathetic yet empowering, supportive yet stirring; and her book will get you out of your comfort zone and moving toward bold - yet real and achievable - weight loss goals. This isnt a diet book, and Rosenblum will help you understand why going on another restrictive diet is definitely not the solution. Through a series of intuitive worksheets throughout the book, you will discover why your previous weight loss efforts have failed, and you will create your own path toward success. The author helps you target your destructive thought processes, while helping you shift your focus to your strengths and what will help you change now. You will learn to look at your weight loss challenge in the most positive, practical light, and begin using loving self-discipline. Youll learn to make genuine choices that fit your life, and aim for the weight loss results that are right for you not a movie star, and not your inner perfectionist. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling to lose weight for good.

For David, Sara and Sophia,

whose presence in my life

reminds me of what is important, every day.

And for all my family, friends, coaches and clients, who have

contributed to my life, my work, and this book

in ways I cannot count.

Ive been a weight loss coach since 1986. During the course of those years, Ive coached many, many women on how to lose weight. They come to me feeling defeated, battered, and unworthy.

Many of them think something must be wrong with them.

Here are some of the things Ive heard:

How can I run a company but not be in charge of my own body?

What is wrong with me that I cant stick to any weight loss plan?

So many things in my life are going well I just cant believe that I cant master this one thing!

Im so frustrated. I feel like giving up but I know Im smart, and I see other women succeeding at weight loss. What is my problem?

Most women express some version of these thoughts when they come to work with me after trying many different weight loss plans. The problem is they keep repeating the same actions over and over again and guess what? Of course! They get the same results.

They keep repeating the same actions because they havent cleared up whats blocking them in the first place.

If you dont know why youre overeating, no diet book or plan or guru will help you lose weight.
