Tools to deal with emotions , instead of using food.

If you got nothing else from Body Sense, the model of the Cycle of Pain is a visual aid that you can use in all situations to stop being a food abuser. There are real tools that challenge one to think about what leads to looking for food , when food has no magic to comfort the pain. The Cycle of Pain is like having a watch that now tells me where I am in my feelings, why, and what is most likely about to happen next.The second most valuable part of the book is the way it clearly and logically goes deeper into the emotions connected with eating disorders. I wish every physician new about Body Sense and could recommend this book to their patients as a healing tool.Lastly, almost any addiction I can think of would benefit from the use of the tools in Body Sense. Thank you .

Body Sense: Balancing Your Weight and Emotions

Ms. Crawford-Clark has gathered the wisdom of the counseling field, combined with the knowledge of human nature, female mystic and male dynamics, with chemical dependency knowledge, eating "disorders" and presents a valued, insightful and very helpful book on this complicated subject.Her reflections and specific exercises offer the reader a practical, logical and manageable approach to a long-standing problem facing most Americans and American families.It is with great support I take the time to write this brief review. I recommend this book to all my friends (both personal and professional), as well as to the general reading public.

Finally a Way to Shed the Guilt and Shed the Pounds

I highly recommend this book, not only for losing weight, but for personal insight and transformation. The author finally shows us a way to connect with our bodies through our feelings and insight. We can lose weight by getting rid of the personal emotional burdens that we carry around as baggage. The author says that losing weight is not about will power, and she's right. It's about understanding how we think and feel contributes to our moods, eating, and weight gain. She shows us practical, common sense ways to make some lasting life changes.

This is a very good book!

For anyone struggeling with a weight problem, this is a good choice in books to read.
