This is about food addictions. I am not grossly overweight, but I have been walking an average of 20 miles/week for a year, and my weight hasn't dropped as much as I'd like it to. So, after having a physical exam, my doctor said I should weigh a lot less if I really do that much walking. ( I do, I track it on my smart phone and record the mileage on an exercise chart.) The answer must be in what I eat. I know that I am an emotional eater, and if food is in front of me in the office, I eventually...more
SPOT on in linking and helping people understand that their eating disorders, food compulsions and obsessions, weight problems...etc are addiction.
The term "addiction" is hard to swallow and so many people miss the mark. This book is for people who - beyond suspecting...kind of know they have a problem but they don't know why or exactly what is making them eat/not eat.

I liked the stories in this book and think the message is powerful, but I could've done without all the god talk. Not everyone is religious or spiritual, so that part of this book was annoying. Outside of that, this was a good book.
If you have struggled with food issues either compulsive overeating, binging/purging or anorexia this book is for you. Shades of Hope does good work and has a excellent reputation in our local area and around the country as well.
Enlightening about food being an addiction for some.
Took me a long time to finish this book. You cannot just read this without taking small breaks to process the impact of Tennie's words.
This book is one I am sure to read again many times.
