Product Description
Get Rid of the Clutter Inside You and Live the Life You Want Peter Walsh, the bestselling author of It's All Too Much, 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, Peter demonstrates how the clutter in your home is directly related to the clutter on your body, and how clutter negatively affects your ability to lead a full and healthy life. This plan 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 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 create the healthy life and body you have always imagined for yourself.

A cluttered house is a symptom... December 2, 2008
Confession time: Hello, my name is Chrissy, and I have a cluttered house.
I live by myself, and I can't blame the mess on Mittens. ;) I tend to be a busy person and run into the house, drop my stuff, then pick up other stuff and run out. Peter Walsh, probably best-known as Oprah's clutter guy, makes an important point by drawing a link between our busy lifestyles, our cluttered homes (and in my case, my cluttered car as well) and the way we take care of our health. Walsh asserts that clutter in the home is a symptom of clutter in the mind, and clutter in the mind can affect everything from our work to our health to our finances and credit and then back to our homes... It's a big cycle. So, he suggests, clean up your house and you will bring some peace into your mind, which will help you to perpetuate the cycle of keeping the home clean and the rest of your life organized as well.
Some of his advice is great, including his advice on how best to organize your kitchen. Of course, I'll need some time to implement some of his de-cluttering strategies, but I do like the philosophy of creating order from chaos. Maybe I'll have to ask for some file folders and storage bins for Christmas. ;)
 Great book, but BEWARE ordering this November 25, 2008
Not long after having bought this book on Amazon.com, I received a 'free trial' package for "Wu Yi Tea," a weight loss tea. I have never heard of this stuff, much less ordered it; however, since this was mailed to the same address as my Amazon order, out of curiosity I searched Amazon.com store on weight loss teas, and THIS book is one of the recommended items with the tea product.
The "mystery tea" was billed to the same account that the purchase of this book from Amazon was, within days after my book purchase. A charge of $4.95 (which ended up being "for shipping & handling") appeared from a company called QFL, Inc. Check them out on the BBB website (they have an "unsatisfactory" rating):
http://newjersey.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=89&bbb=0221&firm=90009173
Coincidentally enough, the unwanted tea shipped to the SAME address that the previous book order had been shipped to (it wasn't my home address). How can something that I didn't order be billed to me AND shipped to a friend's address by accident? Good question.
Other than this scary experience that no doubt is just starting to take shape, the book itself is very good. It is EXCELLENT. I was a diehard packrat, and this book provided a perspective I hadn't anticipated -- it just made SO much sense. Just buy it elsewhere. If you do buy it from Amazon.com, PLEASE monitor your billing account for a charge from QFL, Inc. for $4.95.
Insighful October 24, 2008
This has very practical,tips on clearing clutter from our homes and bodies. About caring enough about ourselves to do this. I would highly recommend this book to all. I believe Peter Walsh is very insightful. Great Book!!
Clutter Makes Your Life FAT September 9, 2008
This book goes beyond Peter Walsh's "It's All Too Much". In that book he focused on the clutter in our homes. This time he deals with that clutter first and then on how it affects our "butts." He maintains that if our lives are filled with clutter then our eating habits are probably chaotic and filled with excess and junk too.
Walsh delves into the kitchen to clear it of useless gadgets and food clutter.
I especially like Walsh's one size does NOT fit all approach, "You'll notice that I'm not being specific about foods you keep and what has to go. when it comes to healthier living one size does not fit all. We are individuals, and you need to make a commitment to decisions that work for you." And, "We both know you are perfectly aware of what you should and should not be eating. So enough of the charts and tables and portion measuring devices that clutter your life."
His book is packed with great lists to work through, and tons of practical, encouraging tips and some obvious but perhaps forgotten lines:
Chew your food
Eat your vegetables
Get a good night's sleep
Don't fill up on bread
Don't talk with your mouth full
Your eyes are bigger than your belly
His food clutter principle, "Recognize and celebrate every meal you enjoy. It will remind you of the great things a meal provides, beyond just the food." Walsh even pays homage to the practice of saying grace before a meal, "The expression of common prayer forced everyone at the table to stop, pause, and reflect."
He ends with some really terrific "Don'ts":
Don't start with the "stuff", start with a clear idea of the life you want to be living.
Don't obsess. I care about you. I can't stand the idea of your turning into one of those people whose whole life is spent figuring out how not to eat a single potato chip.
Don't count calories or eat fake foods or go to someone's house for dinner and tell them you brought your own meal.
This book is really encouraging and really practical.
Great book! June 22, 2008
The book is a common sense approach to the physical and emotional clutter in your life. Peter doesn't give you "3 easy steps" or "17 ways to fixing things" but rather knowledge that we all have already and for some reason choose not to focus in the right direction. i never associated clutter with weight gain before and it has some merits :)
