On the one hand, it has some amazing insights that I believe go to the heart of why people are emotional eaters. It's deeply refreshing and on the money to hear someone say it's not about food but unmet childhood needs. My own instincts have been leading me down that path for a while now, and I was looking for a book that could help give shape and guidance to my explorations. The first section of this book does that, in a pretty big and great way. I actually think and wish that this book was split into two or three books, because it traverses too much ground in the long run. That first section is epic and contains ideas that I believe lifelong emotional eaters will be grappling with, one way or another, their whole life. There are few bigger topics for many of us than lifelong shame (which in my view is so linked to unmet needs). The link between shame and binge eating is profound and deserves to be better known. But it's also extremely painful and difficult (if not, at times, downright impossible) to confront. That one area of a person's soul/life alone will take years to understand and heal or genuinely shift. I felt, reading this book, that it began with an understanding of that complexity and gentleness. I loved that it moved things away from actual food and eating, diets, nutrition etc. I loved that it went even deeper than books that say we binge because we deprive ourselves and forbid certain foods (true, but never the whole story).Then it shifted gear, into the world of CBT. It's a world we've all come to know, and there are thousands of psychologists ringing that bell and churning out books on how you can reframe any problem by exposing the core belief and challenging it with a more rational, positive response etc. I won't rehash any of that because we all know the drill. It's not that that stuff is wrong or pointless or irrelevant; it's just that it's very much on a different plain to the deeper stuff. The stuff about childhood needs and trauma. Stuff that, in my opinion, has no business being fashioned into "core beliefs". At least not until way down the track, when a person has truly processed those terrible old wounds. To intervene too early is to re-traumatize a person. It says: hey, I hear you, I understand you, I know you were forced into a living hell as a little kid and weren't able to get your basic needs met. Now: change. Bring rationality into the picture. Turn those deep psychic wounds into intellectual conundrums. It just doesn't work like that.But even if you could navigate that rationality stuff, and not find it too jarring, I think the later section on what to eat is downright IRRESPONSIBLE. To have in the ONE BOOK such important insights as: it's not about adopting a new diet, it's not about someone else telling you how to eat, it's not about having lists of good and bad foods etc... and then to push a diet plan (and a very rigid, limiting one at that) is unforgivable. It's clear the author is a vegan or a vegetarian, and judging from a few turns of phrase, I'd warrant a Buddhist. Good luck to her on both fronts, but PLEASE: put this stuff in a separate book! It is NOT the time! To say nothing of the fact that NONE of us has all the answers on nutrition, and I'm 100% confident that some very smart people could rip some of your definitive claims about diet and nutrition to shreds (I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure plenty of our ancestors ate a lot of meat). It's not ok to push your own personal moral agenda in a book like this. Nor is it wise, however good your intentions, to advocate a particular diet, when the thrust of the book is supposed to be about how diets don't work and cause more harm, and aren't really the problem! To say nothing of the fact that the diet you push is highly restrictive, given that most people (and no doubt ALL emotional eaters) consume foods you are suddenly telling them are dangerously unhealthy and must be eliminated.It might seem like a good idea to just pile everything into one super-book, to cover all bases (and I get that, in the long run, it is about a multi-faceted approach to change), but I think it's a big mistake. I would urge lifelong emotional eaters to just read the first part of this book, and maybe the last part on spirituality (although this too might seem like a bridge too far, if you're new to confronting childhood trauma and unmet needs). I know writers always say: read my book slowly, take your time, don't read it all at once....but really, who does that If you're putting it all in one book, chances are, we're going to read it all. And we're going to assume it's all more or less on the same plain. A much wiser move would be to split a book like this up into multiple books, and TRULY tell someone who is so profoundly stuck in a daily, wounded battle with bingeing, that they need to start creating a slow, gentle, years-long dialogue with their wounded inner selves, and then somewhere down the line, if they feel up to it, consider reading about behavioral or intellectual interventions, and then even further down the line, consider reading about good nutrition.96 of 97 people found the following review helpful.Superb for emotional eatersBy MakeuplandUPDATE: 23/11/2013 Please see below for my initial review.So as promised here I am with an update. It has been a year I think since I posted my first review and in that time I have come a long long way. With the help of the "inner conversations" and "nurturing limits" skills from this book I am able to go weeks without a binge and am able to regulate my emotions and meet my needs effectively. This is from a starting place of bingeing on a daily basis and struggling constantly with my emotions. I gave up dieting a good few years ago since I knew it was a major cause of binge eating but it was the emotional eating that I had issues with. I still have binges and I understand that it will take a while to eliminate this completely especially since I have relied on food for coping for over 10 years. Nevertheless I am making imense progress and even when I do binge I can identify the underlying reason that led me to binge and the reasons why I did it. This helps me to come with plans to deal with the same situation in the future. I measure my progress and success by the number of days that I stay binge free and thats what matters the most to me but for those that are interested in numbers I can tell you that I have gone from a UK dress size 18/20 down to a 14.INITIAL REVIEWWhere do i begin In my never ending search to overcome my binge eating and emotional eating habits and to reduce my weight i have read books accross the spectrum from diet books to books on intuitive eating and those treating overeating as addiction. In all that i have read i have never come across any advice that effectively helped me to deal with my emotions without turning to food or in fact how to deal with emotions at all. I tried white-knucling through my cravings, distracting myself, sitting with emotions and a whole range of other suggested ideas. Nothing worked! Nevertheless i was still hopeful and continued my search every few months on amazon to see if i could find anything that would help. When i found Julie Simon's book the title seemed promising. Then i had a look at the preview on amazon and honestly the few pages i read had me hooked. I saw one of the technique's that Julie suggests within the preview and while i waited for my book to arrive i put it into practice. Imagine my surprise when i found it to be extremely useful in dealing with my cravings and desire to binge! I have since recieved the book and i have only read a small part of it but it has been so helpful that i have rushed on here to write a review.The book lists many skills that allow the reader to deal with emotional eating and the ones that really spoke to me are the self care skills. Really listening to my needs and learning to take care of myself and trust and respect myself is helping tremendously. I would urge everone who struggles like me to purchase the book and to practice the skills even though it may seem strange to have inner conversations with yourself.I promise to return and update my review to let everyone know how i am doing and i am certain that with the help of this book i will be successful in overcoming my crazy relationship with food!15 of 15 people found the following review helpful.Possibly the best book I've read on this subjectBy ckbelairWhat a gift this book is! What sets it apart from other books about emotional eating is that Julie Simon is a psychotherapist. She brings a depth of knowledge, insight, and understanding to this subject, based not only on her own experience as an emotional eater, but on her professional expertise as to what causes us to use food for comfort.The book is written with intelligence and gentle guidance. She divides the subject into three parts: overeating due to emotional hunger; overeating due to physical hunger; and overeating due to spiritual hunger. Each section gives detailed, specific information and evidence as to WHY we overeat. In the "emotional hunger" part, she dwells on childhood trauma as a likely cause for reaching for food to sooth ourselves. She gives specific guidance and steps for processing and grieving that trauma or abuse. Additionally, Julie gives steps for taking care of ourselves, for loving ourselves enough to do this. If we grew up with a lot of criticism, we learn to criticize ourselves and never feel "good enough." Learning to love ourselves and accept ourselves now, AS IS, is key. In the "physical hunger" section, Julie provides in-depth information about the biology and chemistry of food and our bodies. She has consulted with nutrition experts and makes a compelling case for a plant-based diet. She also talks about hormone imbalances, brain chemicals, and the role of exercise and sleep. All of this is presented in a non-dogmatic, gentle way. There is no pressure here, just common sense. And in the "spiritual hunger" section, she gives a variety of sources we can tap into to find meaning, purpose and connection in our lives.I appreciate the author's holistic approach to dealing with emotional eating. I've reread this book and am very grateful for her wisdom, knowledge, and authenticity. Thanks to this book, I have not been on the scale in a month, and don't intend to bring it out. It's not about how much we weigh, it's about listening to our bodies, asking ourselves what we are feeling, identifying our needs, and loving ourselves enough to take good care of ourselves. Julie is a gifted writer with an inspiring message of hope. I recommend this book without reservation!See all 66 customer reviews... CRAGMAN - Quotes and Poems about loss grief death hope ...
