I feel that the authors have provided a vauable book for people with eating disorders. They have also provided a well thought out list of resouces for use and references. Their work de-misifies eating disorders by writing in easily uderstandible English. No need to have medical knowledge to understand your friends and family who suffer for eating disorders.

Their work de-mistifies eating by writing in easily understandible english - no need to have a medical background to gain the knowledge understand of your friends and family who suffer from an eating disorder.

This is a practical guide for anyone who wants to keep their head straight throughout the day. Everyday tips for replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations as we approach the challenges of body type, food issues, and social pressures. This reading makes a great daily tool for starting off in a positive mindset, or to pull you back into a healthy place as the pressures of the media, advertising, and pop culture start to take their toll. You can take in small bites from any chapter that works for you. I would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with weight issues.

This book says nothing different than any other books out there. I buy so many books on eating disorders hoping that I'll find one that will give me new insights; this book appears to be a synopsis of many books out there. The authors don't appear to really understand the depth of emotion in eating disorders.

The author's of this book make recovery sound so easy that it can be done by anyone and anytime. I think that although they might have had their own issues, it was not to the point of life or death like most eating disorders.

Although I found the preliminary chapter interesting as I progressed I quickly found that this book has a feminist slant to it. I think that if the authors has focused more on a wide variety of individuals for their research, the book would have been more helpful to me. I think having a male perspective somewhere would have been beneficial.

Just disappointed at what I thought would be new material. The authors pull information and strategies from other self-help resources to create this book.It would have been more helpful if the authors had drawn from their own experience.

I found this book very helpful. Not only did it have short, to the point chapters that were easy to read, it had exercises at the end of each chapter that were action steps I could take. These made it easy to take small steps and feel like I was making progress.

There is a also a chapter at the end for family members, and a resources section with questionnaires about eating disorders, questions to ask when choosing a therapist and even a section on what eating disorder treatment involves.

It is clear the author's are experts in this field, and I'm glad they wrote this book. I would recommend it for anyone struggling with issues around weight, food and eating.

This book spoke to me because I am one of those many women who is tired of dieting and obsessing about calories and weight. As the authors promised, the tools provided in this book are indeed helping me end my battle with food. I'm giving this book to my family and friends (men and women) who struggle like I do with stress eating and body image.

This book is a perfect companion for someone looking for a tool to develop their "healthy self" through affirmations and more positive messages about recovery. A refreshing alternative to some of the more technical guides.
