Some people use food to calm themselves when they feel overwhelmed. Others find it difficult to discern between eating out of hunger and eating out of habit. There are nearly as many reasons why people overeat as there are reasons to stop. While overeating can often bring comfort in the short term, it can lead to feelings of guilt later on. If you feel like you're caught in a cycle of unhealthy eating that you can't stop, this workbook can help you overcome it. In The Binge Eating and Compulsive Overeating Workbook , you'll learn skills and nutrition guidelines recommended by doctors and therapists for healthy eating and how to quell the often overpowering urge to overeat. Using a variety of practices drawn from complementary and alternative medicine, you'll replace unhealthy habits with nourishing rewards and relaxation practices. This potent combination of therapies will help you end your dependence on overeating as a way to cope with unpleasant feelings and shows you how to develop new strategies for a healthier lifestyle. This workbook will help you: • Identify the trigger foods and feelings that spur you to binge or overeat • Determine how stress, depression, and anxiety may be affecting your eating • Calm yourself in stressful times with nourishing self-care practices • Learn to appreciate and accept your body

Carolyn Ross' book is exceptional in it's clarity and usefulness. For anyone who has habitually looked for outside help with eating disorders, this workbook is an important step in discovering the need to search within and the rewards from doing so!
Written in plain language, Dr. Ross' book takes the reader through a series of exercises intended to change unhealthy behavior and begin the healing process. The introduction defines binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating so that BED and CO are easy to recognize. The chapter on nutrition basics is a straightforward introduction to what each of us should know about the foods we choose to put in our body. Each succeeding chapter provides thoughtful activities intended to bring the reader along the path to better nutritional - and emotional - health. Then, the concluding chapter lays out the five steps to continue the path.
Well done.

It helps me so far

I do have the problem of overeating. Especially late in the evening. So when I saw the books I thought that it might be something for me. So far I read about half to the book and I like it. I don't know how long I can keep it but since last Tuesday (five days) I stopped my late night eating. As a result I also sleep much better -- don't need to drink at night and get up a few times to go to the toiled. Last night I slept 7.5 hours without even waking up once. That might not be the authors purpose of writing the book but this is the positive side effect that resulted from my reading eat. The other book that also helped me with my problem is Can We Live 160. The author devotes one whole chapter to the bad habits that lead people to obesity.
