LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! by J. Wiese  5 Stars
August 17, 2009
As a recovering individual who has struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and compuslive overeating over the past 12 years, I found this book to be the best investment I've ever made. It gave me insights and challenged me in ways that years of continuous therapy has failed to do. While I'm not recommending this book as an alternative to therapy for food issues, it definately gets to the core issues at hand and reminds us that "food" and "fat" are not the real issues in our lives.

Overeating - Help! by kathleen Fuller PhD (Stuart, Florida)  4 Stars
August 13, 2009
The insidious diet myths- we're led to believe that all our problems will be solved, all our dreams will come true--if only we diet. Even the word diet conjures up seemingly magical wishes and promises. Among these are hopes and dreams of future success about everything from beauty, self-esteem, feeling all right, being a good girl, as well as approval from others. But the diet myth is not magic. It is a lie. This book confronts dieting and tells us its not working and is not a logical long term solution. Can we as readers really hear this? Many times we need to hit bottom to be willing to open up to new solutions. A good companion book to this gem is Not Your Mother's Diet. Not Your Mother's Diet: The CURE for your EATING ISSUES

overcoming overeating by Emily Keough (Ipswich, MA) 5 Stars
July 09, 2009
The words in this book may ring true to many people who struggle with their eating habits and their relationship to food in general. It opened my eyes to the differences of 'mouth hunger and stomach hunger'. I am much more able to look forward to stomach hunger and successfully deal with mouth hunger most days now. I keep the book at the ready, as I look to it for strength and I will NEVER diet again! I wish I could thank the authors in person and I also wish there was a overcoming overeating support group to attend. Best of luck to all who are on the same journey.

June 14, 2009
I have struggled for many years with my relationship to food and this book helped me uderstand exactly what was going on in my body and guided me successfully to a new attitude toward myself and my eating habits. I thought nothing could fix me but I am 100% different after reading it. I strongly reccommend this book to anyone who feels trapped or ashamed of their eating. It's the best purchase I've made in years!

Life-changing, going on 3 years without a problem by amara 5 Stars
June 13, 2009
I read an earlier version of this amazing book. This book changed my life and I am so grateful to the authors. I overcame my binge eating disorder. I am no longer obsessed with food and weight - that is the most important thing. What you probably want to know, though, is that my body has returned naturally to a healthy weight. I pretty much eat what I want when I want and enjoy it. I tried so many things (and read many other books on the subject of overeating), but only this worked. This will not work for everyone, but I believe it will work for most if you truly follow the advice. I wish every overeater would give this book a try instead of trying another diet. Good luck out there!
