Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA-The authors' philosophy is that extra weight is an emotional as well as a physical issue, and that it can be handled, in part, by learning to distinguish between emotional and physical hunger. The book's supportive, empathetic tone is evidenced in such key messages as: "You are not using food because you lack control, and are undisciplined, or are flawed, but because it is the only way you can take care of yourself for now." Techniques to use to listen to the body, learning to respect and express feelings, using visualization to enlarge spiritual understanding, setting limits, and trusting the process to take you to a new and better place are all discussed. This intelligently presented book will find readers in any library and has great merit as an alternative to the usual recipe and diet books.

Determined to Live,
By Determined (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not about Food (Mass Market Paperback)
I was in the bookstore looking for another book but came across this one. I'm so glad I did. I had tried every diet out there within reason and found that nothing helped. It seems that whenever someone tells you that you can't have something, you want it more -- especially when it comes to food. They help you to understand why this is. I am recommending this book to every woman I know, especially if she's on another diet!!!!!

By A Customer
This review is from: Its Not About Food (Hardcover)
If you are a woman who has ever suffered or is suffering from an eating disorder, this book will change your life. It honestly touched me during a time when nothing much did. I discovered new depths to myself, and saw how strong and magical we can be

Must-read for those struggling with food-related addictions,
By A Customer
This review is from: It's Not about Food (Mass Market Paperback)
After years of struggling with food addictions, diets, and bingeing, I am very grateful that I found this book. Along with Overcoming Overeating and When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies(both by Munter and Hirschman), this is the most important book I have read. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with a food addition or body-thought disorder.
