Editorial Reviews

Product Description
If you're one of the nearly 116 million Americans trying to lose weight, only to find that every diet you've tried has failed you, you are a diet survivor.

You can step off the destructive diet bandwagon and reclaim your self-esteem, positive body image and a happy, healthy life. These 60 inspiring lessons will give you the tools you need to change your relationship with food, your body and yourself.

Dieting is hazardous to your health. Diets don't work and they won't work, and yo-yo dieting will make you fatter.

This book can show you how to:
* Never diet again and allow your weight to stabilize
* Stop feeling guilty about eating the foods you love
* Free up all that mental energy to be more productive and have more fun in life
* Get in touch with physical hunger and learn to love your body

Give up the vicious cycle and stop overeating.

Judith Matz and Ellen Frankel are sisters and therapists specializing in eating problems and weight issues. Each holds a Master's degree in Social Work and has over 20 years of clinical experience in teh field of eating disorders. They are the authors of Beyond a Shadow of a Diet.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must read!, February 12, 2006
A great read! This book is the answer to the countless diets that I have tried. The authors present a nurturing, compassionate compelling answer to years of an unhealthy relationship with food and my body. The quotes along the way both inspired me and made me laugh. This is the type of book that I will turn to again and again for support and guidance. After reading this book I am proud to call myself a diet survivor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a practical guide that makes sense!, February 17, 2006
By Debbie (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This is a very user-friendly book that can be read again and again. The simple to understand lessons, wonderful activities to help apply the information, and insightful quotes guided me to a higher level of understanding of my own body/weight issues. With this handbook, I am excitedly changing my focus from the diet-binge cycle to understanding, acceptance and better care of myself. Thank you Ms. Matz and Ms. Frankel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for those learning to eat intuitively, November 22, 2007
This book is a wonderful guide for people who are trying to learn to trust their bodies again. The journey towards becoming an attuned or intuitive eater can be hard, especially for anyone battling back from an eating disorder. This book gives you easy lessons, in short, easy to digest chapters. Its also a small book... perfect for slipping into a purse or backpack. That may seem like a silly comment, but I love it because it means I can take the book with me anywhere, for when I need some extra support.
