Changed My Life
I got, and followed this book over 10 years ago, and have not had to live in the crazy up and down weight (mostly up) world since then. For over 10 years, I have followed the priciples of this book and been able to stay sane about eating and food through all kinds of difficult life situations - pregancy, death, divorce. It taught me how to live without using food to get through things, and how to live without being afraid of food, either. It was pretty hard the first 3 months or so, but SO worth it! I would recommend this book to anyone who is completely fed up with yo-yo dieting and the guilt and remorse that come from feeling out-of-control with food.

This book has been a life-saver!
This book contains a lot of wisdom and clarity about how eating disorders work, and how to arrest them, that isn't available in the vast dieting industry, and often not from the medical profession either. I have worked with Becky Jackson for several years concerning my own food and eating issues, and I have learned so much more than I did in any previous "diet" program. This book is NOT about dieting. Becky combines physical, emotional and spiritual recovery in her approach. My hope is that this book becomes more widely known, and that more people can benefit from Becky's experience and expertise, and from the stories of the recovery of others that are also in the book.
