This book has been so helpful to me. I feel my life is changing overnight. Or at least my relationship with my appetite. Geneen Roth's writing is tender, funny, loving and very informative. She believes it is essential to discover (or re-discover) your physical hunger and also that feeling of having had enough and gives practical help on how to do it. It works and I feel more in touch with my body than I have done for years. There are also other chapters on applying what you've learnt to difficult situations such as visiting parents, parties and passing on healthy eating behaviour to our own children. I would highly recommend this to anyone who knows their relationship with food is an emotional, difficult one.

I was only looking for some thing to tell me why I over ate and help me stop, rather than a cure for bulimia or cyclically gorging and over-exercising, but I still found thsi book helpful, though I was not its target audience.
Alot of what she says makes sense and explains why we do eat what we know will make us fat, even thinking the uncomfortably unthinkable- we may deep down need the extra pounds to make us comfortable in our selves, for example. Brave thing to say to life long dieters!
What makes this s a stand out among self help books is ta the author makes it clear she is not 'cured' and occasionally relapses into old habits when her guard is down.
Only falls short of five stars because she constantly refers to how ghastly she looked at 145 pounds, which, for a potential readership of women over 245 pounds, is a bit hurtful.

Brilliant!
Makes complete sense. Good step by step guide to self analysis. Who'd have guessed that the answers to some of our problems were hidden in the way we gorge ourselves and indulge?

Breaking free from emotional eating
The best book I have ever read on Compulsive eating, and a guide in which you can follow without dieting and works.
