Very Healing for Females with Weight or Abuse Issues!
This book is a great tool not only for women who desire to shed unwanted extra pounds, but for women who have experienced any form of abuse (especially sexual abuse during childhood) as well. So, even if you are not significantly overweight, you may find yourself interested in this book anyway. It provides many case studies outlining how and why women retain extra weight because of emotional issues, and gives many practical and spiritual ways to lose the weight. Simply reading the book can help you lose weight and heal from old abuse issues, whether you consciously remember the abuse or not. The information in this book will help you to better understand your relationship with food, your body, and yourself, and heal yourself in a practical, easy-does-it approach, with spiritual and metaphysical applications that take you beyond conventional therapy approaches. You may be quite surprised with some of the insights that come to you about yourself and your life as you work with this book. Highly recommended!

Opened My Eyes - FABULOUS Book!
This is the BEST "diet" book I have ever read -- it's NOT a diet! Helped me to dig below the surface to discover why I chose to eat myself to obseity and put me on the right road to recovery. A marvelous book for anyone who tries to eat away their pain.

Not worth the time -
This book is New Age fluff - not worth the time it took to read it. Has no practical or innovative approach to offer. Author indicates you need to deal with all your life issues before you can lose weight. If that's the case, no one will ever lose weight. Better off spending your time reading "Overcoming Overeating" - a gem of a book written in 1988 - find it on Amazon for less than ( ). Absolutely novel concept - it's working for me. Approach with an open mind and commitment. OA veterans will find "Overcoming Overeating" scarey - it preaches liberation, not a lifetime of reinforcing "I'm a compulsive overeater." It's a cure - not an excuse or a prison. Try it. Similar Products
