Food is not the problem at all. As a compulsive eater, you consciously or unconsciously use food to manage your anxiety, to calm yourself when you feel stressed, and to bring comfort when you feel lonely, sad or afraid. Ultimately, weight loss is a by product of re-learning how to eat and feeding yourself out of physical hunger instead of emotional hunger. In this book you'll find the inspiration and guidance you need to stop dieting and start living the fulfilling, self-accepting life you richly deserve. If every weight control program or product on the market could provide the fast, permanent weight loss they claim, the diet industry would have gone out of business long ago.
Studies suggest that ideal weights are different for each individual.
Maintaining the weight that is right for you significantly contributes to good health and one's own perception of good looks which in turn influences how you're perceived by others. It's time to throw the scales away and rethink society's idea of the perfect size or shape. You Count, Calories Don't will help you take charge of your life with healthy, enjoyable eating. That Feeds On It, Laura Fraser. Laura Fraser is a free-lance writer and recovered bulimic who went undercover to explore the front lines of America s diet wars.
