Product Description
Diets don't work. Why not? Because they focus on what foods we should and shouldn't eat but completely ignore everything else that makes us fat. Look at your own situation: You say you want to lose weight, but you just can't stop indulging. You say you'd exercise more if only you had the time, yet you spend precious hours every night in front of the TV doing what? Munching nutrition-free snacks and drinking supersized beverages.Peter Walsh, the bestselling author of It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff, believes that the secret to successfully losing weight is to forget about calorie counting and weekly weigh-ins. Instead you need to focus on how, why, and where you eat. When it comes to clearing clutter (the fat in our homes) it isn't about the stuff itself, it's about the life you want to live. The same is true for losing weight: It's not about the pounds, it's about living the life you deserve in the body you want. Using his expert techniques honed from years as a clutter expert and organizational consultant on TLC's Clean Sweep, Peter helps you address how the clutter in your kitchen, your pantry, and your home is directly related to the clutter on your body and negatively affects your ability to lead a full and healthy life. This book shows you how to clean up not just the spaces where you eat, but the routines around them: from planning meals and shopping to dinnertime rituals. Peter knows all the pitfalls and all the excuses. In Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat? he gives you the tools (and courage) you need to get over all your excuses, face the issues, and make the change to a better life. This is not a diet book. This is a book about your life -- about creating the healthy life and body you have always imagined for yourself. Peter helps you kick the food-clutter habit forever. You have only one life. Start living it today.

 My Big Fat Italian Clutter June 14, 2010
Carla Constanza (New Orleans Metro)
This book hit me like a ton of bricks! All my life I've been fighting both fat and clutter, but had never linked the two together before! The author's premise makes perfect sense, and I feel like there is hope for me to get a handle on both situations by working on them together as symptoms of the same problem. Until now, I had felt overwhelmed and thought it was beyond my capabilities to "tackle everything at once". Peter Walsh described me so accurately that I had the feeling he had been peeping in my window (but not in a creepy way!). He helped relate my overweight to my chaotic house (and life) as I had never considered doing! He gave concrete suggestions for getting past the excuses and taking constructive action! I realize it will take serious work to improve something that has taken me a lifetime to "mess up", but I feel like I now have a plan to make it happen!
 Correlation between extra "stuff" and extra weight? February 19, 2010
Laurie Beebe (http://www.mycoachlaurie.com)
As a dietitian and weight loss coach I bought this book because I am interested in finding out about the relationship between having too much "stuff" (clutter) and extra body weight. It is my belief some people are subconsciously trying to keep a reserve or a cushion around for security. This results in having too much around the house and too much around the midsection. Being aware of this phenomenon and taking a look at what it's about might help with both issues! However, this book was mostly about clearing out the kitchen in order to cook a healthy meal. Peter did include a brief overview about clearing clutter from all rooms, with the first step being to decide what the function of the room is to be. He has good advice about how to place things in the kitchen and what to get rid of, as well as how to shop and plan for meals. Good information here; just not what I was looking for.
I love this book, and boy did I need it! February 16, 2010
Bold Consumer (USA)
This book was written for me. I needed a plan and it had to be easy or I wouldn't follow through on it.
Now I look at "things" and value them differently.
If your clutter has taken over your life and left you too exhausted to be healthy, take time to read this book. It might just make a big difference.
More of the same thing February 14, 2010
Miriam Finchelescu (KOHAV YAIR, Israel)
Even if, as in any book, you can find some good ideas,this book will not help those of you ( us ) that have been reading enough diet material to write a doctorate by ourselves. It's readable, a little bit toooooooooooooo long and well, more for beginners than for us, experts. Good luck.
The purpose for the space should support the purpose of your life January 6, 2010

I have very much enjoyed this audio book. I was honestly quite surprised; it was a gift from someone who enjoys way too many of the bubble-gum-for-the-brain psychobabble self-help books. Instead of what I expected, this author is conversational and actually conveys ideas that work. The concepts are very simple, and I found them applicable to all aspects of my life. I approach everything with more purpose and less stress including my housework, my grocery shopping, my bill paying, and (most importantly) my morning conversation with the closet. I do believe that his first book may cover the same ideas in more depth, but this is enough to get you started on the right road.
