Can never recommend this book highly enough! This book is the answer to a riddle I've been trying to solve for years, namely why I couldn't seem to lose weight when I so desperately wanted to. I had my suspicions, but they were never fully formed into an idea, and culture's attitudes about weight and diets clouded and confused my suspicions. The authors of this book have confirmed my suspicions - it's not about food at all, it's about how I have used eating as a coping mechanism, and dieting has only made me think negatively of myself, and therefore... more info
These women really understand I read Overcoming Overeating several years ago and was relieved to find a book about overeating that was written by women who clearly understand what it's like, who don't patronise or prescribe.

Finally I am smiling again! This book takes you through the various stages of overcoming overeating. Starting with no longer judging yourself as "fat", taking you through to dealing with compuslive eating and then no longer feeling the need to compulsively eat.
I am eating so much less binge wise now easily, rather than the diet struggles triumphs and failures that usually plague me. And I smile!
