The Emotional Eater's Book of Inspiration

- 25 million Americans suffer from compulsive eating: Dr. Danowski was among the 60 percent of overweight Americans. The connections between food and emotions have long been discussed--these are connections Danowski knows well. Once weighting in at more than 300 pounds, she learned to overcome her own emotional eating compulsions. Her book offers the tips that helped her lose more than 160 pounds--and keep them off for the past seventeen years.
- Stop the "fat lies" and learn the hard truths: You won't lose one ounce of weight by talking about it. Rachael Ray doesn't eat everything she cooks and neither should you. "Free" foods are too expensive. Cleaning your plate will not feed one starving child. Though we may not want to admit it, the above statements are true. One of the biggest hurdles to weight loss and continued success in food-addiction recovery is denial. The Emotional Eater's Book of Inspiration helps food addicts to confront their own "food lies" by introducing unique insights touching on common challenges faced by dieters. Rather than lecture about eating habits, Danowski empowers dieters to manage their emotional connections to food, increasing their chances of long-term success.
