If you're one of the nearly million Americans trying to lose weight, only to find that every diet you've tried has failed you, you are a diet survivor. 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: 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 the field of eating disorders.
They are the authors of Beyond a Shadow of a Diet.
Overcoming Overeating - The Diet Survivor's Handbook
In they published Beyond a Shadow of a Diet: She has worked in the area of eating problems since and is a frequent speaker at workshops and conferences on the topics of compulsive eating and body image. They present a series of exercises designed to help you differentiate between control which they argue will break under stress and choice you can opt for healthier things, if that's satisfying.
I'll gloss over my most personal level of interaction with this book to say that, since 4th Grade, when my mom well intentioned, mis-informed, doing her best put me on a very restrictive diet. It's been a rough road ever since.
Reward Yourself
I've never formally dealt with it, but chances are pretty good I'm one of those borderline cases of eating disorders. I'm working through the 60 lessons. They're difficult, but they make sense for me. Enough of the personal.
Great rules if you want to change your relationship with food and swear off diets forever. Easier said than done! Nov 04, Beholderess rated it it was amazing Shelves: Luckily for me, I've only been on a diet once in my adult life, though that lasted for quite a long time - over year long. And it definitely damaged me psychologically. This book was instrumental in letting go of guilt and shame associated with food and in accepting myself as a fat girl who will probably stay fat and still has full right to enjoy her life.
