Product Description
No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all.If you suffer about your relationship with food — you eat too much or too little, think about what you will eat constantly or try not to think about it at all — you can be free. Just look down at your plate. The answers are there. Don’t run. Look. Because when we welcome what we most want to avoid, we contact the part of ourselves that is fresh and alive. We touch the life we truly want and evoke divinity itself.Since adolescence, Geneen Roth has gained and lost more than a thousand pounds. She has been dangerously overweight and dangerously underweight. She has been plagued by feelings of shame and self-hatred and she has felt euphoric after losing a quick few pounds on a fad diet. Then one day, on the verge of suicide, she did something radical: She dropped the struggle, ended the war, stopped trying to fix, deprive and shame herself. She began trusting… More >> Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything

Growing up my sister stashed Hostess chocolate pies in her dresser drawer when “Ruby called”, she would chase me demon-like down the hall after I partook. My aunt used to eat nothing but potatoes, at least 30 pounds a week. My mother would consume an entire Angel food cake then take 6 diet pills and smoke a Lucky Strike afterward. My grandma used to look through an entire rack of Twinkies just to purchase the select few with cream splitting the sides. A chick I work with cannot order from a menu, she cannot make up her mind and changes selections seventeen times over while others are pulling hair out of their heads, then she orders a grilled cheese. Another chick I work with had bariatric surgery and looks like a sag and bag Shar Pei, and she brags about it! She had the saline stomach band released temporarily so she could consume more food on a Carnival Cruise.
Matter of fact, most of the duck-shaped women I work with deny food when offered and I never see them eating. And they are always dieting or starting a new fitness routine. If so, then how did they get a butt like a bag of Bisquick? Or that waddle like an old-fashioned pie wagon rolling down the street? Would I be right to think they are eating like horses when they get home? I should be buying stock in corn tortillas, magnesium citrate and glass jars.
What is up with you chicks and your bizarre-freaky-psycho eating habits? I don’t get it. Never will. Maybe this book will heal you in an Oprah-like manner. The title scare me to death too, is this chick-humor? Kinda got that Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction feel to it. Compulsive eating? Why don’t you compulse over vacuuming the front room? Because the nice little lines in the carpet might remind you of a Triscuit. Whatever works just quit being weird over food. Read this book, change, do something, pretty please.
By the way, my wife read this book and ordered me to the fruit market to buy some fresh figs…guess who farted all night like a Scottish bagpipe convention? The dog even left the room. A man can’t win.

It’s a different diet book. It got me thinking about my thinking and food in different way. Our obesity problem is multi-faceted. My father like most always made the family eat everything on the plate – food I didn’t like, forced to be eaten. The book can be slimmed down to the one page of 7 points in the back. I suggest you make a copy and place it some where in your kitchen. Always have healthy snacks on your kids along with water. Each person could drink all the water in the world and we could still have the exact same amount, as when we started! Change plate shape to any other than round. Free yourself from this bad habit and don’t let your kids pick it up. Rating: 2 / 5

This is to Amazon. For some reason I can’t pull up Women Food and God. When I first heard about it about 2 weeks ago I went on my kindle and put in the title but got Breaking Free from Emotional Eating. It wasn’t until today watching Oprah that I realized that I had the wrong book. Don’t get me wrong, Breaking free… is a great read and I’ve started taking the steps it calls for and feeling the freedom, but the book I wanted to order then and still do is Women Food and God but have not been able to pull it up on my Kindle for reasons I hope you know. Please help me.

I’m dissapointed in this company. Paid for book and did not recieve it. Sent numerous emails trying to get an answer, and no response was made on their part to rectify situation. Will never do business with them again. Should be taken off Amazon. Rating: 1 / 5
