A Must Have For a Person With an Eating Disorder-Inspirational!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tuchy Palmieri's book "The Food Contrarian". With all of the eating disorders people have in the world today, this book is extremely helpful. He states many others have said "when reading on a daily basis, they gain insight, confidence, and courage to overcome their specific problem." The quotes in this book are very inspiring. I am going to hang one page a week on my refrigerator to remind me I do not have to eat to feel better emotionally. I especially liked the quote: "Food fight: When the food wins." How true that statement is! The steps one must take to overcome their food addiction will be made easier to achieve by reading this book. I think Mr. Palmieri did a fabulous job on how he presented the list of steps. It is as if you are telling yourself you can meet your goal. You can be strong. You can do it! I truly enjoyed the poetic pieces you can recite to yourself to make you feel loved and to give you confidence in times of need. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs help losing weight or with anorexia, bulimia or any food disorder. The Food Contrarian is very helpful for a person recovering from a food disorder. This also would make a wonderful and caring gift to a friend or family member who needs help.

Thoughtful, Insightful, and Understanding

I have a friend who is constantly battling food issues. She knows the problem, but just can't seem to win the war. This book helped me to further understand the situation. I have passed it along for motivation. The book is extremely insightful and shows understanding of such a delicate issue.

An excellent motivational read

This piece is very motivational piece for anyone dealing with eating issues. It's a perfect one to keep handing to refer back to, and keep New Year's resolutions fresh in the mind all year round.

Very Understanding Resource for People with Eating Disorders

Many people think the solution to an eating disorder is to simply eat or stop eating. But it's not always that easy, especially when there are psychological and spiritual ties to the disorder. The Food Contrarian helps address these ties through hundreds of specialized quotes. The book not only provides motivation for individuals with eating disorders, but it can help them understand why they have the illness in the first place.

Fantastic

As someone who has struggled with my relationship with food, this is a lifesaver for me. I love all of Tuchy's quote books and this one is no different. There is a quote for any situation I am faced with when it comes to food. Even if you do not have any addictions with food, you will still find this book entertaining.
