In this groundbreaking yet accessible work, Marcia Sirota puts happiness in its rightful place as the true reason for overcoming compulsive eating. She shows why diets and dieting can't work and how the goal shouldn't only be weight loss, but freedom from the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours associated with overeating. Dr. Sirota demonstrates how a woman can overcome her psychological attachment to being overweight, and gives a number of useful tools for understanding and resolving the emotional issues underlying this problem. Ineffective solutions to food addiction are debunked, including the 12-step program, and the philosophy of Ruthless Compassion is explored as a way to more successfully address all addictions.
