" I really enjoyed this book, and I'm not really a fan of self-help books. This book really opened my eyes to some of the compulsions and obsessions that people (particularly women) have with food. I would recommend this book to any women. "

" This was the first time someone, or anything, understood my obsessions and compulsions with food. While some of the text did make me squirm, the author, for me, touched a place that no therapist has ever been able to. I keep this book on my kindle and read a few passages each day. For the past several weeks my thought patterns about food have shifted and I remain hopeful. "

" This book was amazing. I finished it in two days, with lots of journaling and thinking and tears shed in between. Roth is able to put into words things I have known about myself, but was never quite able to articulate. She was a yo-yo dieter for her whole life, and learned how to embrace food and her body in a way that has allowed her to help hundreds of women to do the same thing. I highly recommend this book for anyone with food and/or body image issues. "

" This book is the voice for the struggle I go through every day! I'm finally realizing that there isn't a magic pill or diet. Instead I need to look inwards. Great for anyone dealing with eating, weight, or just self-esteem. Whether you agree with her or not, I know you'll find it thought provoking. "

" Great for anyone with emotional eating problems, which for most women, is what their issue with food usually is. It sounds cheesey, but I love how Geneen Roth's main message is just to love yourself, give yourself a break, take care of yourself by listening to what you need. "

" Picked this book up because it's on the NYT bestseller list. What a surprise and a book that is useful if you want to get ahead of any compulsion, bad habit in your life. The rules for eating at the end are easily substituted with the name of your favorite disfunction. Easy read -- not preachy! "

" I've read all of Geneen Roth's books and really like her philosophy. This short book was a restatement of such, but with more god this time. Because it didn't include a magic pill to fix everything, I guess I'll have to start following her advice. Again. "

" Though there is nothing new in this book - from her other books -- I still liked the reminder about eating (or any addictive/obsessive/ciompulisve behavior) -- and how it is a cover-up for actual feelings which you don't want to face.
