When I was writing The 21 Day Fast Diet, I felt a little crazy. A smidge insecure. Because I talk about how my SWA (strong willed appetite) bosses me around and demands a bowl of Blue Bell peppermint ice cream at night. I mean, I assumed everyone has a little voice in their head that wants ice cream …
But then I got nervous. Because I realized not many of my friends actually talk about a tyrant demanding ice cream. And then I about had a panic attack because upon reading my manuscript, my editor said something like this: “It’s probably important to clarify in the intro that you personify your appetite. Otherwise, I think you might sound a little like you have multi-personality disorder or something.”
Oh.
Okay.
I took her advice. And plan on sending her a brand new car as a thank you gift.
Anyhoo, if you hear voices begging for ice cream, chips & salsa, or chocolate, you’re not alone. But there is a chance you have a SWA … just like me. (PS. We had a little trouble getting started. PPS. I didn’t realize I chortle. A lot.)

Think maybe you have a SWA? Here’s a little quiz here to figure it out.
Meanwhile, some dear, fabulous people are coming clean, confessing their SWAs. Thanks be. Every time one of them posts something, I feel a little more normal.
Here’s what people are saying about the book:
Stacy: I just bought it… your introduction is ME, has my name all over it!
Colene: I just bought your ebook this morning! Let me tell you that I think we share a brain about food and habits! It is so encouraging to me to realize I am not alone in my struggle with food and weight. I am so excited to start the 21 day challenge! Thank you so much for doing this! It is exactly what I have been needing! :)
Megan: Just bought the book. Page 7…yes. “Small and weak, heavy and embarrassed.” That’s me.
And Hayley wrote a whole post on it ~ and she doesn’t even have a SWA!
I adore her. :)
So here’s the dealio. If you need to lose weight, eat healthier ~ the book will do ya good. AND if you take the quiz and discover you have a SWA ~ the book will really do ya good.
Buy the book. Then join the community of honest, fabulous people on FB on their 21 Day Fast Diet journey.
