From the Publisher: "Diets don't work -- so says the author of Weight Loss from the Inside Out. There are literally hundreds of diet books on the market, yet people keep trying the latest diet in the hopes that THIS time, the diet will work. They never do, at least not for very long. This book is not a diet book, but instead serves as a practical guide for the compulsive eater (or bulimic) who wants to learn how to eat in touch with her body's wisdom and give up dieting forever. The author, a recovered bulimic and psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience in the field of eating disorders, discusses her own personal experiences overcoming her eating problem. Through clinical examples, stories, and a series of guided imageries and other exercises, she teaches the reader to trust an intuitive voice of inner wisdom - a voice that will guide her out of her troublesome eating patterns. The reader will learn: -How to distinguish between true physical hunger and "emotional" hunger -How to listen to the body's signals of hunger, fullness, and discomfort -How to attain a more accurate body image -How to distinguish different KINDS of hunger and eat the food that will really satisfy your particular craving. This book will also appeal to the therapists working in the field of eating disorders. A final chapter "A Note for Psychotherapists" is aimed at helping mental health professionals integrate the basic principles and imagery exercises into their own clinical practices."
