Book Reviews of Breaking Free from Emotional Eating
Book Review: It takes hard work to beat an ED, and this book can help.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book a couple years ago after I acknowledged I had serious eating issues, and wanted to stop the destructive mental and physical cycle I was engaged in. I was a chronic dieter, obsessed with my mission to lose the last 10-20 pounds I believed was 'ruining' my life. I thought if only I was 130 pounds I would be happy, and I couldn't be happy at 150. I would regularly diet and binge, losing and gaining 20 pounds within a couple months. Everyday was full of anxiety and dread, eating was stressful, all I could think about was how wrong I was and how shameful my eating issues were, and of course how miserably 'fat' I was. I struggled with compulsive eating for 6 years-with the unending 'urge' to eat, until I found this book.
If you struggle with emotional or compulsive eating, buy this book! Read it, listen to the message, and most of all give yourself time to heal and make changes. The principles of this book essentially teach you how to tap into your actual hunger and fullness, while ridding yourself of the horrible deprivation mindset of dieting that leads to overeating. I am finally practicing the principles to the fullest (I used to sort of half practice the principles in the hope that I would lose weight, but I was still dieting and fell back into my former behaviors), and after 6 years of chronic binging, I haven't binged in months! But it took time, and I'm not completely free of my tendency to overeat, or my desire to eat when I'm not hungry for various reasons. This past week even I definitely ate too much and when I wasn't hungry. The key thing this book has changed in me is- that I accept it and I MOVE ON. I don't dwell or hate myself or desperately try a new diet. But even so, I am much happier, my eating disorder is not dominating my thoughts as it once was. I am improving daily, I actually feel my 'hunger' now, I actually do not 'feel' like eating when there is delicious food around. For me, this is a major breakthrough. I'm thinner then I have been in years, not 130 pounds, but for once- I'm fine with my weight. I'd rather stay this weight then potentially revert back to my old behaviors- without Breaking Free I would never be this reasonable!!! I can't emphasize enough though- it takes TIME. Be patient, you may gain weight, you may have setbacks, progress is GRADUAL. But if you embody the message of this book, you can overcome your ED!
This book will teach you how to accept, love, and forgive yourself in spite of your eating issues. It delves into the emotions and thinking patterns that fuel compulsive/emotional eating, and helps you escape the mental outlook that causes the eating disorder. This is not a dieting book! But it will teach you how to find the strength in yourself to solve your eating issues, and to move on with your life.
