As people in the Western world diet more and continue to grow fatter, the trend toward weight-loss books that deal with the emotional and psychological aspects of overeating--rather than simply providing another low-calorie food plan--is a welcome one. In this excellent workbook, eating-disorders expert Deirdra Price provides clear information on changing your physical and mental self-image, along with questionnaires, games, and visualizations designed to draw readers into the process immediately. Those who work through the exercises are likely to experience a boost in self-esteem that they may come to realize is more valuable than the body changes that will eventually occur.
Book Description
Divided into four sections devoted to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual "selves," Healing the Hungry Self shows readers how shaping new behaviors leads to healthier eating while avoiding unhealthy dieting. It explains the difference between physical and emotional hunger, and how attitudes, thoughts, and feelings affect our eating choices. Dr. Price gives directions for reversing eating rituals, recognizing danger zones, using alternatives to food to cope with emotions, and accepting our bodies the way they are. This comprehensive workbook includes: * Real-life stories * Checklists and questionnaires * A variety of exercises * Charts for keeping a daily routine For those who starve themselves to lose weight, find themselves eating all day long, or turn to food for comfort or relief, Healing the Hungry Self offers a way to create a permanent change in their minds and bodies. *Deirdra Price is a clinical psychologist with extensive credentials and training. *Dr. Price conducts seminars nationally, speaking at high schools, colleges, hospitals, and businesses.
