Publisher Description
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.
This is not a diet book. This is a book about your life -- about creating the healthy life and body you have always imagined for yourself. Peter helps you kick the food-clutter habit forever. You have only one life. Start living it today.

Quotes
-
“Would-be dieters looking for a place to start will likely benefit from Walsh’s straightforward style.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“The enjoyable Australian author/narrator has a leisurely speaking cadence—a deliberate slowness that suggests he is serious about every sentence and concept. This pacing, and the casual way the program’s content is delivered, makes engagement with its intentions build slowly but assuredly.”

" i live with two dear people who LOVE STUFF- (i on the other hand prefer the "less is better" scenario...) so i'm hoping he addresses how to compromise/share space in the healthiest of ways so ALL are happy! (wish me luck!) "
— Trella, 2/17/2014 -

" i really enjoyed the book - and thinking about the connection between clutter in our lives & homes and the possible relationship to extra pounds.... "
— Helgaklassen, 1/26/2014 -
" Great advice, but some suggestions are not practical for every lifestyle. "
— Doreen, 1/21/2014 -
" I can definitely see the link between our consumer culture contributing not only to our household mess, but also to our physical mess. However, stretching the theory into a full scale book seems to belabor the point and rehash a lot of the first book. "
— Chris, 1/14/2014 -
" funny and enlightening read. The book is better than you might expect. "
— Theophania, 1/3/2014 -

" Just have to do it now "
— Madelyn, 12/15/2013 -
" I think this book is good for people who feel overwhelmed with clutter at home and with where to start if they are overwhelmed with where to start with a healthy lifestyle. "
— Jessica, 12/8/2013 -
" Author states the obvious. Not overly helpful when the clutter is mostly Legos and other plastic parts.... "
— Vicki_Loves_Libraries, 4/15/2013 -

— Joan, 8/10/2012 -
" I love this book. It really explains the relationship of clutter, weight, and emotions. Wow! I know lots of relatives who could have used this!! My house is sighing of relief as I empty the coffers!! "
— Lyn, 5/19/2012 -
" I found this book to be too general. I wasn't looking for the touchy-feely philosophy of weight loss. I was looking for some advice on how to set up my kitchen to make preparing healthy food quicker and easier. "
— Veronica, 3/15/2012 -
" Nothing new in this book but the link between clutter and fat was an eye opener for me. It got me to start de-cluttering and also eating healthier. I've lost a lot of "weight" in my home and 10+ pounds already! "
— Donna, 2/10/2012 -
" Real talk. "
— Annmarie, 1/20/2012 -
" Very redundant of It's All Too Much, which I loved. His approach to food is very all or nothing, and it's a hard way to live. I can follow the hard line on keeping garbage out of my life, but not my treats!! "
— Ann, 10/11/2011 -
" I felt like I needed to have read his first book to benefit from this one. Still, it had plenty of good advice, and made an interesting connection between the clutter in our homes, and the clutter on our thighs. "
— Virginia, 6/10/2011 -
" Some interesting ideas, and I liked the worksheets. Left wanting a little more detail, and more of a game plan for dealing with mental clutter. "
— Sarah, 4/4/2011 -
" The "family" chapter was a good reminder for me...the rest I could do without (especially because he has a whole book on "clutter" and another on having a "healthy" life). "
— Amanda, 3/29/2011 -
" Loved this. Peter Walsh is fantastic. Everybody should read this. "
— Angelene, 3/2/2011 -
" This was a nice book to read, and got me in a mood to manage my time better and do more spring cleaning! It's also just a good self-check on mental health. "
— Jennifer, 1/1/2011 -
" Listened to audio book version. Good ideas and suggestions; mostly geared toward parents of young children though. "
— Ccdempsey, 8/8/2010 -
" Library checkout. Love Walsh, though it all seems very repetitive and obvious. "
— Deirdre, 5/31/2010 -
" A good motivator, although I haven't cleared the clutter from my house yet! I skipped parts that didn't apply to me - children, going out to a job, etc. "
— Ngdecker, 5/29/2010 -
" It was ok - I prefer his ever-practical decluttering physical space books better...didn't hate it, but wouldn't recommend it. "
— Jennifer, 1/19/2010 -
" Not as good as his first two... "
— Sandy, 1/12/2010 -
" This book was just "o.k." -- seemed to be the same stuff I've already read on the topic. Guess I'll just have to live with my "mental clutter" and you know what? I think I like it that way! <br/> <br/> "
— Donna, 1/9/2010 -
" I wanted to like this book, but it just didn't have enough meat to really be worthwhile. I picked up The Clutter Diet instead and have found more meaningful suggestions and stories in there. "
— Andrienne, 12/12/2009 -
" I listened to the audiobook. This book had a lot of good advice on how to live your best life. "
— Suzanne, 10/10/2009 -
" I can't finish it. Mr. Walsh should stick to home decluttering in - I don't think minds are his thing. This book feels like he took his book It's All Too Much and just added a few thoughts mental clutter. Or maybe I just have so much mental clutter I don't get it. "
