i think that this could be a life changing book. the title called to me, since i just want to eat like a 'normal' person. i don't want to count calories or feel like i have strict guidelines that i end up rebelling against. but i don't want to be compulsive either. this book was very practical in addressing beliefs that are behind our behavior. she even gave ideas of different beliefs that we could have and what more rational beliefs we could adopt instead.

Although I did not find all of the material covered applicable, Koenig does offer some valuable insight and exercises, or at least a healthier way of thinking about and approaching mealtime.She does not broach the subject of nutrition, opting instead to focus on awareness of hunger and satiety cues.While undereating is addressed overeaters will likely find more solace in her offerings.
meh, it was okay.
This is a very inspirational read. From the point of view of someone that has been there themselves, and successfully overcome the struggle of disordered eating.
This is one I'd like to own and refer to now and again when I start to get all floopy about food and my body. If you have eating issues, whether it's restrictive eating, compulsive/emotional eating, or both, this book offers helpful suggestions to retrain your brain. The author really sounds like she's been there and the tone is very friendly and compassionate. I recommend it.
While I appreciated the information that this book offered, I found the author's style rather condescending. I got much more out of Intuitive Eating.
