Book Description
"I'm not an educated person, I'm not a doctor or a dietician. I'm just a mum with a dream and I made my dream come true."Young Melbourne wife and mother Karen Gatt was once so overweight at 136 kilos that she could barely walk to the letterbox. Her dream was to lose weight and live a normal, happy life - but even though she tried every diet plan, weight-loss potion, pill or gimmick, nothing worked. Then she took matters into her own hands and shed 67 kilos, safely, sensibly and permanently. She simply devised an easy-to-follow, highly effective system for healthy eating, and began regular exercise - power walking around the clothesline in her backyard.The Clothesline Diet was first published in Australia in 2002. It became an instant hit, with its easy-to-understand message and fantastic success rate for all who tried Karen's program. In the seven years since, Karen has become a well-known face in the media extolling her diet and has tens of thousands of fans and followers across Australia. Her book is due to be published in the US in March 2010, with huge hype from the US publishers. Our new edition will contain more material from Karen that brings her story up to date.

Mommy Burnout

Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062683705
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293

Book Description
The ultimate must-read handbook for the modern mother: a practical, and positive tool to help free women from the debilitating notion of being the "perfect mom," filled with funny and all too relatable true-life stories and realistic suggestions to stop the burnout cycle, and protect our kids from the damage burnout can cause. Moms, do you feel tired? Overwhelmed? Have you continually put off the things you need to do for you? Do you feel like it’s all worth it because your kids are happy? Are you "over" being a mother? If you answered yes to these questions, you’re not alone. Parents today want to create the ideal childhood for their children. Women strive to be the picture-perfect Pinterest mother that looks amazing, hosts the best birthday parties in town, posts the most "liked" photos, and serves delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals in her neat, organized home after ferrying the kids to school and a host of extracurricular activities on time. This drive, while noble, can also be destructive, causing stress and anxiety that leads to "mommy burnout." Psychologist and family counselor Dr. Sheryl Ziegler is well-versed in the stress that moms face, and the burden of guilt they carry because they often feel like they aren’t doing enough for their kids’ happiness. A mother of three herself, Dr. Z—as she’s affectionately known by her many patients—recognizes and understands that modern moms are all too often plagued by exhaustion, failure, isolation, self-doubt, and a general lack of self-love, and their families are also feeling the effects, too. Over the last nineteen years working with families and children, Dr. Z has devised a prescriptive program for addressing "mommy burnout"—teaching moms that they can learn to re-energize themselves and still feel good about their families and their lives. In this warm and empathetic guide, she examines this modern epidemic among mothers who put their children’s happiness above their own, and offers empowering, proven solutions for alleviating this condition, saving marriages and keeping kids happy in the process.
