The Diet Survivor’s Handbook: 60 Lessons in Eating, Acceptance and Self-Care

This title presents 60 lessons in eating, acceptance and self-care. You’ve tried every diet in the book. You’ve lost weight and then gained it back again (98 per cent of all dieters will), and you’ve been through this cycle more than once. You’re a diet survivor. Therapists, Judith Matz and Ellen Frankel have shown hundreds of women how to step off the destructive diet bandwagon and regain their self-esteem, positive body image and a happy, healthy life. These 100 lessons will show you how to: legalize all foods so you won’t be tormented by cravings and deprivation; recognize your body’s real hunger signs so you’ll be satisfied at every meal; eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full; recognize when you’re using food to comfort or reward or punish yourself; and become happy, healthy and calm around food.
