There is an end to the anguish of emotional eating — and this book explains how to achieve it. Geneen Roth, whose Feeding the Hungry Heart and When Food Is Love have brought understanding and acceptance to tens of thousands ofreaders over the last two decades, here outlines her proven program forresolving the conflicts at the root of overeating. Using simple techniques developed in her highly successful seminars, she offers reassuring, practical advice.
I’ve written all over, highlighted and marked hundreds of pages in this book. It’s not easy reading, Geneen never is, but she says what you’ve been feeling because she feels it too. From steps to take when you want to binge to the nitty gritty of what you’re really hungry for (is it cake? is it affection? is it someone to listen to you? is it to listen to yourself?) I’m not sure I’ve found a book that is so sensitive and comprehensive when it comes to recovering from binge eating.
