Overcoming Overeating

Customer Reviews

It makes me feel alive, being able to eat what I want without guilt, buying clothes that fit now, and looking in the mirror and liking what I see today. It helps me to live a fuller, more satisfying life. I don't have to live with this compulsive overeating all my life, because this is going to help me eat my way out of an eating progblem...Thank you Carol and Jane!

Our obsession with diet has gotten us nowhere except crabby, frustrated, and hungry. We obsess about counting calories, points, fat grams, whatever. We no longer enjoy the pleasures of a leisurely meal because we're so busy computing and worrying about excess. If we'd allow ourselves to eat at will, whatever and whenever we want, the fear of hunger would go away and we would allow ourselves to feed naturally, which means in balance and healthfully. We wouldn't match the unfortunate current trend toward anorexic-looking bodies, but we would be healthy and well-nourished. And our obsessions and compulsions with food would disappear - if you know you can have a cookie whenever you want one, you probably won't devour a full bag of Oreos at one sitting and then deny yourself for the rest of the year. If you know that nothing will leave the planet, you can afford to enjoy it in moderation.

This book was an eye-opener for me. Everything the authors say makes sense. And yet, I just can't bring myself to let go of my own little rituals and launch myself into the universe of safe, natural eating habits. So I keep it handy and browse through it a lot - reinforcement, maybe, until the day comes that I can. Until then, I recommend it for people who want a new perspective on their eating habits, and some provocative new ideas to ponder.
