Carolyn Ross’ book is exceptional in it’s clarity and usefulness. For anyone who has habitually looked for outside help with eating disorders, this workbook is an important step in discovering the need to search within and the rewards from doing so!
Written in plain language, Dr. Ross’ book takes the reader through a series of exercises intended to change unhealthy behavior and begin the healing process. The introduction defines binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating so that BED and CO are easy to recognize. The chapter on nutrition basics is a straightforward introduction to what each of us should know about the foods we choose to put in our body. Each succeeding chapter provides thoughtful activities intended to bring the reader along the path to better nutritional – and emotional – health. Then, the concluding chapter lays out the five steps to continue the path.
Well done.
I do have the problem of overeating. Especially late in the evening. So when I saw the books I thought that it might be something for me. So far I read about half to the book and I like it. I don’t know how long I can keep it but since last Tuesday (five days) I stopped my late night eating. As a result I also sleep much better — don’t need to drink at night and get up a few times to go to the toiled. Last night I slept 7.5 hours without even waking up once. That might not be the authors purpose of writing the book but this is the positive side effect that resulted from my reading eat. The other book that also helped me with my problem is Can We Live 160. The author devotes one whole chapter to the bad habits that lead people to obesity.
