There's a truly wonderful audio book - Weight Loss Forever by Linda Gabriel you can get from
Audible UK
or from
Audible United States
I found this audio training personally extremely helpful in this respect. I use many of the principles with my weight loss clients.
Linda takes you through the thought process of why you want to lose weight and how come so many of us end up yo-yo-ing. She introduces some valuable mental retraining to give you control over your eating and lifestyle habits.
A key message: "It's as important to manage the thoughts you feed yourself as it is to manage the food you eat?" (She also has a really nice voice so you can listen to this CD over and over until the penny drops!)

'Self-image' is the picture you have of an ideal body, which may be completely different to what's idea for you!
If criticising your 'assets' is you all over, i.e. your belief is that you are fat, then maybe take a look at fitness models & celebs lately to get the showdown on the good, bad and downright ugly - and get a shot of reality!
Firstly, these supermodels and celebrities are on a permanent diet - and not a healthy one in many cases - - so who wants to live like that!
Secondly, these skinny female body shapes are NOT actually attractive (not just my view), they scream malnutrition and obsession rather than representing an ideal weight. When we see the pictures, they shock us, but unfortunately, many women secretly want to be like that - creating all kinds of eating disorders, fad diets and more obsession, especially in kids and teenagers.
Skinny models distort our view of the attractiveness of normal body shapes, especially for women. Your ideal weight isn't a comparison to these images of women.
So keep it real!
Remember the women in the renaissance paintings or the Venus de Milo sculpture and think about Marilyn Monroe.
Words like 'curvy' and 'voluptuous' spring to mind? And not negative, but complimentary.
For a complete guide to the best combination of dieting and exercise for maximum fat loss, you can't beat Tom Venuto's incredible e-book:

Abdominal fat and a large waist measurement is a real indicator of certain health risks, which can lead to cardiac failure, liver disease and so forth.
As a health guideline, a waist circumference greater than 80cm (32in) for women and 94cm (37in) for men indicates increased risk, while a measurement of more than 88cm (35in) for women and 102cm (40in) for men is particularly worrying.
So remember earlier ... how does all that stuff help you maintain your weight or lose weight?
Well the more you understand the fundamentals, the easier it is to make decisions about what you choose to eat or not eat, when you eat and how much you eat, your

STOP looking for the next 'fat dissolving' breakthrough. Diet pills, if they work at all, simply deal with short term treatment - they don't help with the cause of you being overweight. That takes lifestyle decisions based on knowledge and understanding your body, your mindset and the impact of your diet and nutrition on your health and shape.
Knowing about healthy eating and building good nutrition into every single day are two completely different things.
