Awesome Book and VERY helpful

This book is simply incredible. The fact that it is set up like a seminar/workshop with exercises (as in assignment) is just wonderful. It really allows you to get involved with the book and with overcoming your problem. You don't just learn about your problem - you actually take the physical steps in moving forward. You can change your life and this book definetly helps.

Made me cry

I know that it is hard to believe that a "diet" book made me cry, but it really did! I've been on the diet roller coast since I was 11 years old. I've been anorexic, bulimic and still suffer from binge eating. I was at my wit's end when I ordered The Hunger Within. I didn't think that a self-help book would give me any new ideas or solutions but I decided I would try it. I just started reading the book yesterday. It has definitely been a breakthrough as the other reviewer said. I realized just out of touch I am with myself. It made me finally see a lot of the problems that I have just never wanted to deal with. You should definitely get this book if you are struggling not just with weight but with coming to terms with issues such as obsession and compulsion.

Emotional Breakthrough!

This book was bought for a friend. She is only to Week 3 and she has had some MAJOR breakthroughs! What an emotional struggle food addiction is! She said she recommends this book to anyone with food compulsion. Excellant workbook, really gets you involved.

The hunger within: A twelve wee self-guided journey

I am a social worker who works with patients who suffer from compulsive eating. This book has been the focus of our sessions. It offers many avenues for motivating and developing positive eating habits while gaining insight into the behavior. It touches the soul and brings peace to ending this compulsive disorder . I highly recommend this book!(Go Blue!)

Truly An Excellent Book !!!

Truly An Excellent Book !!! The Hunger Within By Marilyn Migliore puts down on paper Marilyn Migliore's successful methods of treatment that she has used with me. And, I for one, can tell you it works. Up until 2 years ago (6/15/97) I was a size 32W-XXXL, and for most of my life I have been morbidly obece. Today, after losing more than 130 pounds, I am a size 10-12 and have been this way for the last 7 months. After trying every diet on the market, finally The Hunger Within, focuses you on the real reasons why we eat, allowing food to become a source of nourishment and not self-destruction. To all of my fellow readers with the courage to read this book, my most heartfelt wishes for your success.A GREAT BOOK.
