eye opener

As I read though this book I had a light blub moment and for that one large moment I gave this book a 4 star because that changed the way I look at why I eat. I hope you have your light blub moment.
This is the book to get

I'm an emotional eater, and I got onto Amazon looking for a good book to help me through it. Luckily, something by Geneen Roth caught my eye and in the reading samples, I saw that she is amazingly insightful and compassionate. After evaluating several of her titles, I decided I wanted an action-oriented book so chose this workbook.
I'm really glad about that decision. The chapters are filled with insight and exercises that help you untangle your emotions that lie behind the emotional eating. The chapters are long and the exercises, numerous. This is good, because you don't want a rehashed lecture in quickie trade paperback form. You want a workbook that helps you *work through*.
One other note: You need to be able to write when you do these exercises. So either get the hard copy book or get ready to do a lot of journalling if you use your Kindle (which is what I'm doing). With the Kindle version, obviously you can't directly reproduce charts, but you find the exercise questions and directions are clear enough that you don't lean on the graphic versions.
Real life example of this book at work: Yesterday I had a horrible day and because I read this book, I consciously decided to make spaghetti carbonara - my favorite dish - instead of bingeing on cookies. Then I sat down to consciously eat each bite - and it was hard to do that! I really wanted to distract myself with reading and zone out. But while closing my eyes, I could really experience the food and actually felt pretty satisfied halfway through the bowl. So after filling my senses with what I was doing, instead of using food as a vehicle for numbing out, I didn't need more and I didn't feel like bingeing. This book made that happen and I think it will continue having that kind of positive effect.

Forces you to confront issues
Rating:
I especially love Roth because she has been there, works with many people who are going through weight issues, and so really understands all the details that need to be addressed.
Do it!!

This book is awesome. If you take the time to slowly work the program, you will succeed. I have lost 50 pounds over the past year without dieting or exercising. Just by dealing with my emotional overeating issues. If you eat when stressed or upset, this book can help you a lot. Geneen Roth is excellent. She has been there and she uses humor and understanding to guide you on your journey. A definite do!!!
