e_phemerart26) Roth,Geneen. WOMEN, FOOD, AND GOD: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything. Scribner 2010.
Geneen Roth's books were among the first to link compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight and body image. She believes that we eat the way we live and that our relationship to food mirrors our deeply held beliefs about ourselves and the amount of joy, abundance, pain and scarcity we believe we have (or are allowed) to have in our lives.
I'll admit, I was a bit put off by "God" in the title, but Roth takes a higher power/meditative/nondenominational approach.
Guidelines to Eating:
--Eat when you are hungry.
--Eat sitting down in a calm environment.
--Eat without distractions.
--Eat what your body wants.
--Eat until you are satisfied.
--Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
--Eat with enjoyment and pleasure.
