Editorial Review:
In Sink Reflections, Marla Cilley -- the FlyLady -- helped hundreds of thousands of her fans combat overwhelming household C.H.A.O.S. (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Taking a "baby-steps" approach, she offered little chores to do every day, to wipe out clutter and feelings of inadequacy. Now, in Body Clutter, the FlyLady and Leanne Ely, the Dinner Diva and creator of the Saving Dinner series, team up to teach readers how to handle and erase the clutter they carry on their bodies and minds when it comes to body image.The FlyLady and Leanne say that it's not about finding the perfect diet, it's about the way you feel about food and your body and understanding sound nutrition. With warm voices, unique lingo, and no preaching, they apply a step-by-step technique, coaching the readers from beginning to end and sharing their own success stories along the way.

Not exactly a diet-book, but if you are still in doubt...  2008-10-07
I was curious about this book and after hearing both FlyLady and tons of Flybabies say that "it is NOT a weight-loss book", I decided to give it a try.
I do not need to loose weight, but as anybody I still constantly ask myself when to eat how much and what, and do I get enough sleep and exercise etc... I think the most valuable point I got out of the book was that it confirmed that I do kind of deprive myself of sleep and that I should love myself more and go to bed earlier.
This book is clearly written with a lot of love and good intentions, and the text is easy to read (except possibly if the contents bring up emotions in you that are hard to bear). The authors give personal accounts of their struggles and previous problems. I am blessed not to have such a troubled past. If I had, I think this book would have been a great consolation to me.
If you do have body clutter, I think that this book will address a lot of different ways of looking at your situation and that is why it is "not just a weight loss book".
So if you are not overweight (or have any kind of self-punishing behavior) and do not have a traumatic past, you probably do not need this particular book. But I'm a strong believer in FLYing in general. I have gotten a more positive outlook on life and my situation since I started listening to FlyLady & associates, and I think my family has benefitted from this in several ways.
not worth buying  2008-09-08
i took this book out of the libray and could not make it thorugh to the end. the authors are emotionally abused and found comfort in food. they got heavy and from what i could tell they are sitll heavy. one of them has diabetes and she is over weight. i think they need therapy. they have a lot of issues and things bottled up. it does not tell you how to have your own exercise plan, how to pick a gym, and in one chapter it tells you to eat five times a day with small snacks. who has time to eat five times a day?

Body Clutter: Love Your Body, Love Yourself
I love this book! Written using personal experience and gentle encouragement, this book helps us understand why we have too much body clutter by examining the clutter we have between our ears. Once we understand why we think the way we do, it is easy to see why we eat the way we do. So simple, so profound. Thank you for writing this book!
Taking control is about setting goals - and keeping them. 2008-06-25
What first captured my attention and made me feel like I'd made a good choice is the preface to this book. It tells just how hard it was for the authors to 'fess up to their own body issues. VERY! I REALLY appreciated that level of honesty. The book then follows the FlyLady's procedures and philosophy. It's not fancy, just down home common sense. I bought this book on a whim, and I'm very glad I did. It has MUCH to say about how women take care of themselves and how they can change negative habits. Buy it. You'll be glad you did.
Good Info If You Are Obese 2008-06-10
I was expecting more motivational tips for diet and exercise in a book titled "Body Clutter." It is written more for obese people who are brand new to any sort of healthy habits. It also talks a lot more about self esteem issues than I thought necessary.
