Write Yourself Thin! Count words instead of calories and you could write your way to creative success and a lean new body all at the same time. 'I'm a creativity expert, not a diet expert, so why am I writing a book about weight loss?' asks Julia Cameron in the The Writing Diet's prologue. 'Because I have accidentally stumbled upon a weight-loss secret that works.' Cameron's inspiring weight-loss program, which can be used with her legendary twelve-week Artist's Way> program, shows you how to substitute 'food for thought' for actual food.

Tools used with this diet plan include: Cameron's famous Morning Pages writing exercises. Journaling every time you eat-or think about eating. Walking regularly. Answering questions that will lead to an improved attitude, greater optimism, and more energy. Making pleasurable culinary artist dates you won't want to break. and more! Bestselling writer Natalie Goldberg says of The Writing Diet, 'Leave it to Julia Cameron to come up with this brilliant approach to weight loss! These insights are at the same time simple, obvious, and practical. Beautifully written, fun, and inspiring. You'll want to devour this book-and it has no calories.'
