Reading a Stunner Book

Hi there - went to Barnes & Noble yesterday and found this book - just reading a few pages in the store compelled me to buy it and I am amazed by its presentation and how it so directly corresponds to the way I relate to and mange food in my life. For those of you who feel you might be a food addict on any level, I encourage you to pick this up. It's really opening my eyes to the possibility of getting a handle on this:

Anatomy of a Food Addiction: The Brain Chemistry of Overeating: An Effective Program to Overcome Compulsive Eating (3rd Edition) by Anne Katherine

 

Thanks for sharing! I plan to check it out. I am coming up on my 6th year anniversary and only just in the last 5 months have I been able to eat more normally. As a matter of fact I even gained 10 pounds. Today I decided I did not want to continue and am determined to be more mindful of my eating. For the past six years I haven't really thought much about it since I was very limited on how much of anything I could eat. That book speaks to me. I know that FOOD is my drug of choice and I did not go through all I went through to gain ANY of the weight back. But I know that as a food addict it will take my being mindful of what I choose to eat. I feel like I should introduce myself, I'm Kym and I have obesity and am a food addict. (Even though I don't look like it anymore thats still who I am. It is something I have to deal with every day for the rest of my life.)
