Changed my life August 5, 2010

I have been a binge eater/ yo yo dieter for years. While I was reading this book, my eating habits became healthier . This book has really changed my life and made me realize why I was eating when I wasn't even hungry. I recommend this book for people who have stood in front of the refrigerator eating even when your full and stuffed.

A very informative book wiht well thought out ideas and concepts. Reading this has given me a greater understanding of eating for reasons other than to fuel the body. I think this book is a great tool and is easy to read and follow.

Losing weight while hard, is nothing compared to keeping it off. I've been at my healthy weight for three years, yet my relationship with food is not exactly what I desire. I picked this book up last week (after Thanksgiving) as an experiment to help me deal with a "high risk" situation I was facing. It worked!

Many authors talk about emotional eating triggers and offer suggestions for alternate activities. Spangle describes triggers not only by their emotions and adds their associated food preferences. She differentiates HEAD HUNGER from HEART HUNGER primarily so that you can tailor your "instead" activities to the specific need you are feeling. One can do this by spending time thinking about one's emotions OR one can take a shortcut by looking at the foods you are desiring. She really has me nailed here.
BRIEFLY:
Head Hunger = anger, frustration, resentment = specific desire for chewy or crunchy foods = instead activity of exercise/movement
Heart Hunger = "empty" emotions of sadness, loneliness, boredom = desire for something but often not sure what or soft, creamy foods = instead activity of soothing oneself (bath, sleep, candles & relaxation)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I am a personal trainer and have purchased half a dozen of these for my clients to help them identify their reasons for why they eat when they are not hungry. The book has steps toward identifying emotional eating and then reducing and eliminating destructive patterns. I'd recommend the book.
