Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

An Easy Plan for Consuming Less and Living More

By: Peter Walsh

Narrated by: Peter Walsh

From the New York Times bestselling author of It's All Too Much and organizational expert on TLC's Clean Sweep comes a revolutionary guide on how to declutter and create the healthy life and body you've always imagined for yourself.

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.©2008 Peter Walsh Design, Inc.; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

Very helpful

I got a lot out of this book. I'm glad that Peter Walsh was the narrator. He does the best at narrating his own books. He just has warmth and caring in his voice that is helpful when dealing with subjects like clutter of all kinds.

Advice that makes sense

A good read, with advice that makes sense. No magic tricks, or fake promises. Just common sense stuff.

Useful

He is very clear, I love everything he writes.i would like more books written by him.why not more about close

uncluttered mind

I loved this book, it is really not about your butt, it is really about your whole clutterd life. I like his plain talk, and fresh approach. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone I know.

a good enough read

some of it was very useful. lots of gender ascribed assumptions. ots of assumptions in general. I was waiting for him to address my lifestyle a little. like a 50 hour work week, where your employer fills your lunch breaks wth meetings. no, I don't have to make kids' lunches or prepare my husband's meal before he gets home. towards the end, I didn't have to worry about eating, because it was making me nauseous. taking all of his assumptions and stereotype as lightly as possible, it had some good points, and the worksheets had benefit.
