Great book for compulsive eaters. I'm still missing a little of the connection between love and food because I didn't experience a bad or unlovable childhood but so many uh ha moments that you just want to keep with you and repeat to yourself before you mindlsly eat.

This book was more helpful than most in reminding me that I can actually CHOOSE what I eat!

A life changing book. I was moved and helped by it. Anyone with abuse issues and/or food addiction would benefit from this wonderful warm book.

I really like this author's style of writing. I thought I might identify more with the concept of substituting food for love, but am happy to say I have progressed past that painful challenge. The words were familiar but more like a distant memory of the way things used to be. Very healing.
