This was the first of many books I bought when I decided that I would finally try to recover from my eating disorder-- a vicious cycle of bulimia, anorexia, and, more often than not, binge eating. While Fairburn was indeed informative, what with his statistics, his approach seemed impersonal and cold; he sounded as if he had no personal experience with eating problems, which made him hard to relate to in my opinion, and he provided no solutions for the emotional aspect of problems with eating-- which were entirely the reason my problems began in the first place. After I tried his methods of treatment, I honestly did not see any change. I still had the same problems, and I finished the book feeling like it was a waste of time to read. I prefer a more empathetic approach. Fairburn's method may work for some, but for others, I recommend Breaking Free from Emotional Eating; that book truly changed my life and helped me completely transform not only the way I ate but the way I lived as well. It's targeted more towards women, but men may be able to find a solution within as well. I wish everyone luck on their journey.

Not for me by Miss Mary (NYC)

This was the first book I ever read to try and combat my binge eating behavior that has been present for about seven years. I saw myself in all of the symptoms, but when I tried the program it almost made me more obsessed with food. Plus, I couldn't keep up with the "schedule" with my lifestyle. I understand that schedules are crucial for anorexics but for me it was not the answer. I have since read Intuitive Eating and I highly recommend that for anyone who has tried to stop binge eating and eating emotionally.

Success through education by The Rockes (Near Lake Tahoe, Northern Nevada)

I picked up this book over two years ago, and since then I have lost 55 pounds. This book was the first and most important step to beginning the process. I began binge eating - having learned it from my mother - in my early teens. It's all about the comfort & "zoning out", self-medicating if you will. I have HATED my body (and ergo myself) since the age 22, the point at which my metabolism slowed and I stopped being as active as I had been up until I got married, and the binge eating caught up with me. This book provided the insight I needed to UNDERSTAND the disorder. I truly believe the key to overcoming any inner battle is education. I could not lose weight ("eat less, move more") on sheer willpower or for that fit-into-a-bikini mentality. Now I'm all about longevity, mental health, energy, and etc. Those are the true reasons to eat well and keep moving. I gave this book to a friend, and now I looking for another copy to keep in my library forever, both for reference when I struggle, and to share with any of my other friends and acquaintances who comment on my new shape and want to know "How did you do it?"

Overcoming Binge Eating by Evelyn Joy Davis (New Jersey)

The book has definate guidelines for overcoming this horrid vile eating disorder. The first time I used the book I had fantastic results but as the author points out, the possiblity for relapse is great. And believe me Mr. Fairburn knows what he is talking about. Recently I have gone backto the book and its concept but with no success, however, as the author points out No program will work if the person is not truly sincere about wanting to bring about a change. All in all: it is a good book, definately worth owning and despite the fact that THIS time I have not had the success I was looking for, I will continue to think of Christoper Fairburn as the second coming of Christ.
