What to expect

'Transformational lessons for anyone struggling with their weight.' Professor Adrian Heald, Salford Royal Hospital
'This book is a game-changer.' Dale Pinnock, Nutritionist

The Top 5 Sunday Times Bestseller. This book is not just about weight loss - it is about reclaiming control of your mind, body and life. After almost 20 years working in behavioural science and therapy, Sandra Roycroft-Davis has seen how deeply our relationship with food is connected with our emotions, habits and sense of worth.

In The Weight's Over you will embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where lasting change is finally within reach. The book shows you how to break free from unhealthy patterns, overcome emotional eating and develop a mindset rooted in self-compassion and resilience.

Using the tools within this book, you'll be able to listen to your body, manage stress, and make better eating decision. The power has always been within you - now it is time to unlock it.
