"This is one of my go-to books when I'm feeling out of control with compulsive eating. Geneen has a lot of words of wisdom that turn into self-esteem building mantras for those who have issues with food."
"This book, and others by Geneen Roth, was recommended to me by a med student working with my physician. She too had struggled with her weight and had found answers that changed her life through Ms. Roth's ideas.
Ms. Roth's philosophy is that intuitively we know what we should be eating to be healthy, that forcing ourselves to follow strict diets may work for some but not for all, and that if someone learns to truly love themself they, too, will take good care of their health and their body--naturally. They will learn to "listen" to what their body needs, not what their emotions want.
There is much in her book to ponder, but this quote from the last page was like manna from Heaven to me:
"The thrill is indescribable when, having decided long ago that your compulsive eating is hopeless, you discover that you do have the ability to choose what to eat and when, that you really don't ever have to go on another diet (it's not a lie), and that, in addition to all this, you are losing weight. It is as if you have been crawling over parched and barren land for years, have given up hope of ever finding meadows, and then suddenly you come upon green lushness and thousands of china-blue irises, pulsing and swaying to a windsong."
I can't wait for the windsong. I feel it is coming. I hear the first measure of what I hope will one day be a full symphony."
