If you have a problem with emotional eatingget this book Trish I bought this book based on the reviews of the other Amazon readers. I had to buy it used and there was writing in the first few pages, which would have normally turned me off immediately, but this book is something special.It may be a bit dated in some of the phrasing, but the information in it is as needed today as when it was written. The daily exercises are invaluable and will help someone with binging, anorexia, grazing or other eating problems, really stop and think about what is going on inside.I hope that this book is either republished or updated. It's a fantastic workbookwish I could give it more than 5 stars.. "Wonderful!" according to A Customer. After struggling with food issues for years, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I was looking for a book that could help me get to the root of my problems, and this was it! "Healing the Hungry Self" helped me identify my problems and learn to deal with them without turning to food. I'm really a completely changed person after reading this book--it was exactly the help I needed when I was really ready to make some changes in my life. I'd recommend it highly to anyone who is sick and tired of fighting with themselves over food and is really motivated to make a change in their life.. Very well written and helpful book This book helped me a lot. There is some self assesment tests and I scored in the critical area- my bad habits with overeating have changed my life for the worse and this book helped me look inside and heal whats wrong. If you want to stop abusing your body, and you dont know how to stop, this workbook will be a lifesaver.
