5.0 out of 5 stars Really Helpful
The entries are very helpful for a beginner in OA. I have found that the entries stick with me throughout the day and help me to understand concepts that I am struggling with. For example, I had difficulty envisioning abstinence as anything but impossible. After reading a few of the entries on abstinence, I was able to define it in a way that I am comfortable with -...

3.0 out of 5 stars Should not be listed under "Christian" books
While this book might be very helpful to individuals of many faiths and spiritualies, it is not Bible-based and should not be included in the category of other Christian books. I was expecting to see Bible verses, not referrences to "the Higher Power". The description I read for this book didn't indicate it was written specifically for Overeaters Annonymous. Why not...

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
The entries are very helpful for a beginner in OA. I have found that the entries stick with me throughout the day and help me to understand concepts that I am struggling with. For example, I had difficulty envisioning abstinence as anything but impossible. After reading a few of the entries on abstinence, I was able to define it in a way that I am comfortable with - abstinence is freedom.

It is a good little book. I cannot speak for long time members of OA, but as a beginner, this book is helpful in finding my own worth away from food.

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
I purchased the book, FOOD FOR THOUGHT, a few years ago. Elizabeth L. knows what she is talking about. I read a daily meditation each morning and always find something in the writing that pretains to me. If you suffer from compulsive overeating, buy FOOD FOR THOUGHT. It's very inspirational.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Insightful and Supportive, February 29, 2000
This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
This book has been a great support for me. I often go back to passages over and over. It is supportive and written in a positive manner. It addresses motivation, making mistakes, forgivness, you name it. I know people that use this book for mediations even if they aren't over eaters. I highly, highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
This book has a lot of powerful truth tucked into it. Daily meditations on compulsive overeating don't beat around the bush or contain simple "feel good" thoughts. The writer has written several other books and really tells the truth in love. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with food that is out of control.

This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
This book is a supplementary book for members of Overeaters Anonymous or those trying to overcome overeating. It provides a daily inspirational message to help you to stay on your path to success. I have found it to be very helpful for refocusing my thoughts in the right direction. It's truly worth the small price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to any 12 step program, December 19, 2009
By 
Aaron W (Sa Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
One frequent complaint in any 12 step program is that food gets substituted. A good food regimen, and this book can help for full recovery by removing this tempting substitution.

If you are a compulsive overeater this book is for you. It gives you thoughtful pause for daily living and eating. Even if you aren't a compulsive overeater or food addict, if food is important in your life you will benefit from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good investment!, July 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
This book has been so helpful, along with Letting Go of Compulsive Eating: Twelve Step Recovery from Compulsive Eating - Daily Meditations. Both of these give me something to think about and reflect on throughout my day and lead me towards better choices. I've had more success from doing daily readings out of these books than I have ever had before. Food for Thought is also a small, convenient size to take with you if you leave town or just want to have something in an emergency situation! It's small enough to fit in move average sized purses without taking the whole thing up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book of Daily Meditations, July 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Paperback)
I read five daily meditation books every morning and this one is my favorite and the most helpful. It is clear and concise, direct and spot on - a gentle but no nonsense approach for dealing with eating disorders and food addiction.
