5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for all women, 14 Sep 2004
By A Customer
I first read this book about two years ago whilst pregnant with my first baby and it absolutely blew me away with its honesty and clarity. I have struggled with eating, body image and food since early adolesence, but since reading this and working hard to apply its principles to my life I am the lightest I have ever been, I am relaxed about food and eating and despite having a post-baby body I think I look marvellous!

I would thoroughly recommend it for any woman who has problems with their eating: I would not have believed the almost magical effect it would have on me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 23 Mar 2005
By A Customer
I would highly rec'd this book to both those in the helping professions working with people with eating disorders and also those suffering with one. I have found it invaluable as a Psychotherapist but more importantly in my recovery from bulimia. I reread it almost every year.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original "anti-diet" book, 3 Mar 2001
By A Customer
The insights offered in this book still relate very pertinently to today. The exercises give some devastating insights into how you perceive food, and how that relates to your self-image. This book stands head and shoulders above some of the later books in terms of its simplicity. It is needed now more than ever with the "liberation" of women, which has led more and more to a distorted media image of women's bodies.
