Overcoming Compulsive Eating (EPUB)

Dieting doesn’t work! Have you dieted and dieted again, with no satisfactory permanent weight loss? Do you think about food and dieting much of the day? Do you eat to relieve anxiety, boredom, or loneliness, to bring you “up” when you feel down?

If so, you are a compulsive eater, eating in response to your mind instead of your body. ‘Overcoming Compulsive Eating’ reveals that overeating is the symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. By dieting to control overeating, you are attacking the symptom and not the problem. This is why most diets fail.

The numerous exercises in this practical guide will help you learn what lies behind your compulsive eating so you can address the real problem and let your eating habits find a healthy, normal balance.

Topics include:
• Why you overeat
• How to eat less by eating what you like
• How food, feelings, and fat are related
• Myths about overeating
• Dealing with anger and stress as an aid to eating less
