What People are Saying About This

Ann Whittington

A terrain that was once dim, murky, and full of pitfalls is mapped out and well lit in this courageous book. Written as a combination workbook and journal, each chapter makes distinctions that are useful in moving toward peace with one’s body.

The heart of this compassionate journey is in listening to and trusting in oneself, knowing when you are hungry, knowing what you are hungry for, and knowing how to respond to those hungers.

I use this book in my clincial work. I find that it encourages a deeper dialogue, offers concrete ways of finding inner solutions for inner problems, and helps clients develop, as the authors say, “full lives not full stomachs.”
— Ann Whittington, MFCC

Carol Sun

Participating in the exercises is like attending an in-depth workshop. The true-to-life experiences and insights offered are extremely valuable and apply to all areas of life. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to delve deep within and remove blockages to self acceptance. With this self-help book the reader could easily achieve the goals outlined and have more compassion with themselves regarding their food/body issues.
