Book Description

With the publication of her ground-breaking books, Feeding the Hungry Heart, and Breaking Free From Compulsive Eating, Geneen Roth has helped hundred of thousands of people win their battle against the destructive binge-diet cycle. Now this remarkable companion workbook shows compulsive eaters—in a constructive, non-judgmental way—how to stop using food as a substitute for handling difficult emotions or situations … and how to enjoy eating and still lose weight naturally. By using the liberating exercises and techniques developed by Geneen Roth in her highly succesful Breaking Free® workshops, dieters, who've tried every conceivable diet—losing weight again and again, only to gain it back—and bingers, who are harming their health, can learn wholesome, beneficial ways to achieve their goals. This proven program offers reassuring guidlines on:

  • Letting food become a source of pleasure rather than anxiety
  • Kicking the scale-watching the habit—forever!
  • Recognizing the difference between physical and emotional hungers
  • Learning to say no
  • Listening to, and trusting, your body's hunger and fullness signals
  • Distinguishing "forbidden foods" from those you truly want
  • Uncovering the conflicts that stand between your desire to lose weight and your urge to eat compulsively
  • Discovering other pleasures besides food

5.0 out of 5 stars has changed my attitudes toward myself and toward food, Dec 11 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Weight? A Workbook for Ending Compulsive Eating (Paperback)
Roth has created a wonderful, insightful compilation of exercises which, when combined with a lot of hard work on your part, can change your life. She will change your feelings about yourself and about why you eat. The exercises take a long time to get through because they are so emotionally demanding, but it is a worthwhile process. If you are ready to take a hard look at what really motivates you to open your cupboard, and examine those dark feelings you hide even from yourself, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CYNIC NO MORE, Jun 15 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Weight? A Workbook for Ending Compulsive Eating (Paperback)
When I saw that this book was a "companion" to the "Breaking Free...", I said 'yeah, right...clever ruse to make more money'. OK, I was wrong. This book reaches inside, grabs ahold, and drags untouched feelings to the surface, kicking and screaming the whole way. This is a MUST READ for anyone who is serious about the topic of compulsive eating. AND THIS BOOK IS NOT JUST FOR FAT PEOPLE! Anyone who is concerned with better health and self-control, or who just might have been "spoken to" by the mere notion or plain curiousity, needs to devour this book. It is life changing material, yes it is!
