5.0 out of 5 stars Be free of the diet trap forever!, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Don't Diet, Live-It! Workbook: Healing Food, Weight and Body Issues (Paperback)

Finally - the perfect book that will help you get to the root cause of overeating and it has nothing to do with calories! Most of us aren't eating to feed bodily hunger - we're eating to fill up emotional hunger, and until we find out the "why" of why we do that, we're just going to keep eating and dieting, and bingeing, etc. This wonderful workbook, written by two beautiful ladies who've "been there, done that" is the answer. If you've never accessed feelings before, they lead you ever so gently, and it's - literally - life-changing. Go for it - what do you have to lose?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Contributes to Treatment of Eating Disorders, August 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Don't Diet, Live-It! Workbook: Healing Food, Weight and Body Issues (Paperback)

I am a therapist at an outpatient clinic dealing with eatings disorders. We have used this book for treatment of eating disorders for over 2 years. Every client has experienced benefits through the insights, questions, and guidelines in this book. Even "normies" can benefit. Marsia and Andrea have a loving, intelligent approach that both challenges and inspires readers. Their honesty and openess give hope to those who wish to change old behaviors and expand interpersonal relationships. This book is a jewel to be examined over and over.

This review is from: The Don't Diet, Live-It! Workbook: Healing Food, Weight and Body Issues (Paperback)

I find this book to be healing and inspiring.

I was first introduced to this book by a dear friend who wanted to help me get away from my unhealthy dieting and eating habits.

As soon as I started reading this book, it totally made sense to me. It not only encouraged me to eat well but it also helped me understand why many people (including me) fall for the irrational diets. It's been nearly 4 years since I read this book. I lost 20 pounds in the first 1.5 years and I never gained it back. Since then, this book became one of my favorite gifts to give away.
