Swallowing a frog weighs on the scale: Learn to say no and lose weight

Sometimes diet and exercise aren't enough. Swallowing the Frog Weighs the Scale was written for all the women who know they're too nice and recognize deep down that by taking too much care of others, they have no energy left to take care of themselves. Each chapter of this book addresses this kindness so extreme that it's unhealthy and makes nice women eat more and more. The pages of Swallowing the Frog Weighs the Scale function as an annotated guide to the city called "Niceland." This includes the pitfalls of perfectionism, the harm of using food to care for yourself, the risks of doing everything yourself, the dangers of always having the "yes" button on, and, finally, the masochism of trying to do everything for everyone at the same time. By the time you finish this book, Mother Teresas will understand how being too selfless encourages camping out in front of the refrigerator and skyrockets your risk of becoming overweight, sick, and unhappy. Throughout this book, author Karen R. Koenig teaches the self-care skills and strategies needed to live a happy, fulfilled life and successfully stop overeating. Karen shows that no matter your age, there's always time to make choices that prioritize your own health and happiness.
