when food is love

I found this to be a thought provoking and intriguing read.

Forthright and soul baring, Geneen Roth weaves stories from her painful childhood into lessons she has learned about stopping compulsive behavior and opening herself to a healthy loving relationship. And she is very honest about the bumps along the way.

Roth asserts that until you look at your past and what compelled you to start the compulsive behavior as a way to cope to begin with, you will continue repeating the same mistakes in different ways. She advocates taking the time to feel your emotions (especially the painful ones) and grieve your losses so that you can finally move forward in life without having to numb past pains.

I think it would be an interesting read for folks not only struggling with overeating but any compulsive behavior.

[But you must know it is largely an autobiographical account of the author's own abusive childhood and her struggle in finding freedom.]
