Simple but effective exercises provide the tools to identify exactly how our actions today are connected to our early childhood experiences and our relationships with our parents, as well as to past generations, history and culture. It also shows us what we can do about it now!

    And far more importantly...I am going to teach you the skills you need to win the food fight once and for all--without dieting.If you're looking for a real, proven step-by-step solution to stop overeating and binge eating for good--so you can finally get thin and get on with your amazing life--then this book is for you.Is food your best friend--and your worst enemy? Are you stuck in a relentless tug-of-war between wanting (desperately) to lose weight, and the out-of-control urge to eat? Does your firm morning resolve to "be good" with food consistently crumble into a night of takeout on the couch, watching TV with Ben & Jerry. Do you love food, but at the same time, part of you hates it with a passion, and would be perfectly happy if you never ate again--if it just meant you could finally be thin?Let me come right out and say it. It's not you! There are clear-cut, solvable reasons why your eating currently feels frustrating and at times painfully out of control.You've simply been trying to solve the problem (excess weight and overeating) with a solution (dieting and exercise) that does nothing to resolve the real reasons you feel so out of control with food. The problem is not your lack of nutritional knowledge.Knowing how many calories (or carbs!) are in a thick fudgy brownie does absolutely nothing to equip you with the skills to stop binge eating it after a long hard day at work. Are you going to scream if another weight loss book tells you to "take a bath" instead of binge eating?Overeating and binge eating are learned behavioral patterns that can be eradicated once you learn a few simple actionable psychological skills.But not the type of "fluff psychology" you find in most emotional eating books that advise you to "take a walk", "read a book" or "take warm bath" when you feel the urge to overeat. Really? That advice is absolutely useless. (And maddening!) As if when you're in that pre-binge frenzy, parked outside the minimart tearing into a bag of chips and a box of donuts, you're going to hear that advice and say, "Wow, why didn't I think of that? I'll put down these salty grease glistening chips and thick chocolate frosted donuts and head home to read Pride and Prejudice." Not so much.The solution to binge eating and overeating is found in step-by-step research based learn-able skills that prevent and eliminate overeating on the spot. The skills (you'll be happy to know) do not include deprivation or willpower. Since willpower and deprivation don't actually work. I mean, if they did work to yield lasting weight loss we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Right?Find out exactly why your best weight loss efforts have failed in the past--and more importantly, exactly what you can do to change it. Today.Learn how to eliminate the single behavior that 70 years of scientific research proves causes overeating, binge eating, and feeling out of control with foodUncover the secret to being able to keep any food in your house--without it calling your nameDiscover the two keys that make it a cinch to stop eating any food when you've had enough (even chocolate cake or a cheeseburger!)

    . . . When I heard the words my mind decoded it like this: You. Are. Fat. Fat was not good. No, fat was bad. I would not be fat. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my dorm room and inspected the extra parts. These extra parts needed fixing my stomach, my thighs, and those cheeks that were round and puffy, like two big apples on the side of my face. I would fix this. Fixing was my forte.
