Faithr Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi all, Well, the holidays are are upon us. That means I'll be overeating even more than usual. This is not good as I'd really like to lose 30 pounds. I've figured out my problem and it is that I eat for all the wrong reasons. I know that I have seen mentioned in various places on the internet books about dealing with eating from stress. Anyone here have a good one to recommend? Thanks.

Tracy in Ky Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I really like The End of Overeating. It talks about lots of reasons why we overeat. Very eye-opening for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I liked Love Hunger. It's Christian if that's ok with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 These look like great ideas. Bumping up - I'm interested in this topic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks so much for your suggestions. I downloaded samples from each on my kindle. They looked good, but another book that came up on the list of other "books bought by people who read". . . was 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food. I downloaded a sample of that and for some reason it appealed to me the most. I think because I really didn't want to read about other people's binge eating so much as practical solutions to my own overeating. And this book gets straight to the solutions part of it (though it does have those anecdotal stories too). It is a little bit new agey (or maybe not!) because one of the things they talk about is mindfulness which in my Christian (Catholic) terminology would translate 'intentional.' I've really just begun the book, but so far so good! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The book I read that finally snapped me out of emotional eating was The Weigh Down Diet (CC). Another good one that is more recent is Made to Crave (also CC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
