Very Insightful and Supportive,
This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
This book has been a great support for me. I often go back to passages over and over. It is supportive and written in a positive manner. It addresses motivation, making mistakes, forgivness, you name it. I know people that use this book for mediations even if they aren't over eaters. I highly, highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
I purchased the book, FOOD FOR THOUGHT, a few years ago. Elizabeth L. knows what she is talking about. I read a daily meditation each morning and always find something in the writing that pretains to me. If you suffer from compulsive overeating, buy FOOD FOR THOUGHT. It's very inspirational.

Really Helpful,

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
The entries are very helpful for a beginner in OA. I have found that the entries stick with me throughout the day and help me to understand concepts that I am struggling with. For example, I had difficulty envisioning abstinence as anything but impossible. After reading a few of the entries on abstinence, I was able to define it in a way that I am comfortable with - abstinence is freedom.It is a good little book. I cannot speak for long time members of OA, but as a beginner, this book is helpful in finding my own worth away from food. 30 of 33 people found the following review helpful
