Review

"The emotional side of out-of-control eating is powerful and real. This easy-to-read, research-based book helps you gain awareness of--and break--the links between emotional distress and food. Highly recommended."--Lucene Wisniewski, PhD, private practice, Cleveland, Ohio "Food meets so many of my emotional needs that the idea of eating less has always been a shock to my system. This book is helping me deal with emotions differently. The tools, details, and practice opportunities I needed are all here."--Cori A., San Francisco "This book provides practical strategies and examples, addressing tough issues in a way that puts solutions in anyone's grasp. Very approachable, helpful, and useful."--James Lock, MD, PhD, coauthor of Help Your Teenager Beat an Eating Disorder, Second Edition "I'm grateful for this life-changing book. Using the tools in this program, I was able to stop binge eating and also learned emotional awareness skills that have allowed me to make better decisions for myself and my family. I highly recommend it."--Linda G., Calgary, Canada
