Body Clutter

This thread got me thinking about the state of my house and wanting to work on things. I decided to give Flylady a shot and signed up yesterday evening instead of August 22 as I had planned.
Now I see they have a "Body Clutter" book which I assume is all about how to lose the clutter on your body.
Has anyone read this book? Has anyone tried their approach to cleaning up your diet and ridding your body of extra "clutter"?

Are you referring to Peter Walsh's "Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?"

It's a great read and quite thought provoking!

I don't know, but I gave up on Flylady when she kept insisting I wear shoes in the house.
Did she lose weight? I always thought she was kinda heavy.

This is one of the reasons that I can't really recommend the book, Body Clutter, and much prefer Does this Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

Body Clutter is mostly for women who have suffered abuse in their lives. While I like the baby step approach to fitness, Flylady has taken it to a place of "if I moved today, then I accomplished something" and refuses to take it to the next level. She often tells her readers she was typing up emails while walking on her treadmill, and then complains about the "perfectionists" who email her back telling her that she obviously isn't really working out then.

She has the right to be whatever weight she wants, but I'm not someone who wants body clutter advice from someone who hasn't conquered the problem herself first.

Thanks for your feedback, Spirit Song

Gina, I'm giving the program a shot. She can't see what I'm wearing and shoes mean slippers or flip flops in my house I'm always dressed down to my shoes!

The title makes me think of people walking around with small items sticking to their bodies.
