Helpful Score: 1

I loved this book. I can't say that I think of myself as a chronic dieter, in fact I have tried to stay away from "diets" and just live healthy, but I can see now that diet thinking has dominated my mind for the last 14 years. Even though the book is 20 years old, and I had never heard of intuitive eating, I found it to be the best method for finding peace with food and my weight. After a few weeks of reading, I was able to figure out why I started worrying about my weight in the first place, which I helped me more than any of the "psychological work" I did while reading Dr.Phil's weight loss book a few years ago.

I finally found all the things I thought would come after I "lost the weight" but instead those things came first while my body is slowly reaching a natural weight. After reading the first few chapters, I kept thinking, "it makes sense, why would my body WANT to be overweight? Why wouldn't my body just want to be at a healthy weight?". Now, a few months after reading it I have all this free space in my brain that used to be for thinking about my weight, I LOVE eating what I want, I actually eat vegetables as a snack some nights when I feel like it, I weigh a tiny bit less than I did before having my first baby and overall I just feel better about myself.
