Format:Hardcover
I purchased this book and read it in one sitting. There were times when I so recognized myself among its pages that my throat would tighten with unshed tears. People, and women in particular, so often have negative images of their bodies, and food obsessions that are not as clearly marked as bulemia or anorexia. This book will teach you how to look differently at your body and begin to love it, no matter WHAT size it is. I plan to carry this book wherever I go, and when I am tempted to mentally flog myself for any number of reasons, I will whip it out for a conference with my "portable best friend." I highly recommend it.

i have never found an author who so accurately describes the feelings of a compulsive eater/dieter. i find myself quoting it at least 10 times a day! i never knew that my eating problems could be described with such humor. reading this book even brought to my memory some things i thought i'd forgotten from my past. check out her web site, too! i can't wait to attend one of her workshops!

Geneer Roth is truly insightful and very real. Her book helped me see many of my own foibles with food. I carry it with me. I'm going to read everything Ms Roth has written!
