Maintain

I love Susan Peirce Thompson. Her personal story, her wisdom, and her commitment to changing the world inspire me deeply. This is the third Note I've created on one of her books, following Bright Line Eating and The Bright Line Eating Cookbook. Maintain tackles what most programs leave out: how to actually keep the weight off for good. Susan maps three identity shifts, becoming Devoted to your program, becoming Resourced so you no longer use food as a crutch, and becoming Liberated from the cycle of yo-yo dieting and food obsession. It is neuroscience, psychology, and practical habit-building backed by Susan's own extraordinary transformation from crack addict to world-class PhD researcher. If you want to stop the cycle and find lasting peace with food and your weight, I highly recommend this book. Big Ideas we explore include Meet Your Guide, What Is Maintenance, Devoted, Resourced, and Liberated.
