Katrina: I went to Amazon and was hoping it would be one of the books where

you could " look inside " but I couldn't find that link with this book. Can

you tell us a bit more so that we can know if it's worth buying? What is

the " solution " that is making you so happy all of a sudden ?

The Solution (The Pathway) was voted one of the top 10 medical

discoveries of 2000 (the millennial year). Thanks Katrina.

It is considered a scientific and clinical discovery of major

proportions, that concentrating on 2 single primary behavioral

factors alone:

-- nurturing (Nurturing self, nurturing others)

-- Setting limits (Avoiding extremes)

can cure behavioral illness in all areas of life, such as

weight management and obsessive/compulsive/addictive behaviors.

Most of all, *reap the benefit* to know how to break the

repeat cycle of success/failure, and make permanent changes

that can last a lifetime.

Please take note that the these two behavioral focal points:

-- nurturing (Nurturing self, nurturing others)

-- Setting limits (Avoiding extremes)

are two of the most remarkable qualities exemplified by Francesca

and the List Admin on this discussion board. Think about it.

Then be grateful -- and *reap the benefits*.

As for "The Solution" and "Pathways" I bought both books and quickly turned them in to our library. They were good reinforcement, but the messages that you must be good to yourself (your upbringing may have been shabby but was well-intentioned) and you must set limits for yourself, told it all.

For Mike Bell, nothing else worked, but " The Solution " ,

was a winner. From the inside flap of " The Pathway " ,

authored by Laurel Mellin:

" The Solution is very simple, but so powerful that many

psychotherapists who use it believe it will supersede all

current healing methods for one reason: it works. "

The researchers and the clinicians using the method claim it to

be a major discovery in applied clinical behavioral psychology.

Its major application and success has been in the field of

childhood and adult weight control, where the results are

perfectly measurable, along with the permanency of the solution.

It claims to be the first program ever to show a permanent

weight loss result after the conclusion of the program.

URL: www.solutioninstitute.org

See the FAQ. The program has been in development at the

University of California, San Francisco since 1979.

The Institute is a non-profit organization.

I have no doubt that it works for many people. But there are those of us

who had enough nurturing in our childhoods and who do set limits on

ourselves. It's not " one size fits all " . I wonder if this works for those

who do " emotional eating " . I don't. I just get hungry.

Katrina's message has gotten me interested in thinking better

about my own goals. I am sure that I can set some meaningful limits.

Thanks -- Warren
