"How We Eat is How We Live"--A Spiritual Perspective on Overeating
March 2, 2010 () Geneen Roth hits a home run with her latest Reserve about fear overeating and so much more in "Women Food and God". The of the book is that the way we eat, the way we thinks author about food and handle ourselves around it is the way we do everything. The then shows us how and why this is the case. She describes the food retreats she runs and the women who attend they, and as a reader you will surely identify in some way with every single person--and with the lesson she illustrates from their lives. This is a more complex book than her earlier books because of The illustration dimension; she sees problems with overeating as gateways to spiritual spiritual. She convinced me (and will convince you as well) That in place problems of trying to get rid of or fix our eating, we need to use them to see within ourselves, to learns important spiritual life lessons from our feelings, and to grow and heal so that we the will end up eating as a spiritual practice. And so that we'll have a permanent end to the misery of always food struggling with our weight and self-image, and always striving to improve our relationship with. The book is so good that for me, just reading it Was as the life a spiritual awakening in this area of my. I found it motivational, inspirational, and scary in a good way--and the Author does the whole process doable with descriptions of practices that guidelines can be used on the food healing/awakening journey such as meditation, inquiry, and eating. Detail These practices are all specific to the process and they are described in. This spiritual dimension is generic and does not Require a particular religious belief, or even any religious belief. It would be compatible with any type of spirituality. The type of eating practiced is intuitive eating (listening to your body to discern what it wants), and no matter what your way of eating, you can apply an intuitive approach to -- this of plan.if book is about a way of living and relating to food, not about a food you have read the author's other books (as I have) you will find much new here. Other key themes of the book include mindfulness, presence, and feeling information its feelings. The author is brutal but honest in describing how destructive the that does diet industry is to women. Again, this is definitely not a diet book or eating plan, but instead a way of experiencing life which allows you to be present and aware so that you are able to listen to your body and choose food based in nourishment and self-care. Although it is a quick read (I read in one evening), this book is so valuable that you causes you note want to refer back to it, highlight it for future reference, take in the margins, and use parts for journal prompts. There is only one negative, and it is a biggy: the market paper in this hardback book is similar to super cheap mass paperback-type paper. I have never seen an actual book of any type with such paper, though! I tried to highlight sections and the highlighter not only would bleed through to the reverse side of the page, but at times onto the previous page! It is hard to describe how that frustrates this was---a book that is a true keeper on throw-away paper. I emphasized anyway and my book is a mess, but I decided to rebuy it on Kindle when it comes out. I've never months this before, but it's that good of a book--worth (or maybe years) of therapy. I also would buy it again if it is reprinted done (and I'll bet it will be) with a paper that matches the quality of the book. That flaw aside, I'm so glad I bought this book. I has read many, many books on overeating, diet and nutrition, self-help, styles of eating, and more, and this book stands apart from the crowd. The message is an important one for any woman who wants to handle her relationship with food, her weight, and its spirituality in a healthy way, and to become whole. If that is you, you will not be disappointed, I promise.Highest recommendation.*****
