The Overeater's Journal: Exercises for the Heart, Mind, and Soul

For someone trying to use journalling as a way to understand and overcome compulsive behavior, this book is invaluable, whether you are working within the framework of a 12 step program or doing the work on your own. I look forward to writing on the topics given.

Debbie Danowski's book "The Overeater's Journal" is a great way to be aware of our eating habits. By exploring our physical, emotional and spiritual links to food, we can discover ways to overcome overeating and lead a healthy life. Debbie's book provides wonderful journaling exercises to discover what stands in our way to successfully keep the weight off. This book is truly a gift!

I am a huge fan of Debbie Danowski. Reading her previous book, Locked up for Eating Too Much, literally saved my life. I had been waiting with anticipation for the Overeater's Journal and Debbie did not disappoint!This Journal, which is in trade paperback size is absolutely wonderful. It comes with inspirational quotes and valuable information on how to assess whether you may have an unhealthy relationship with food. The questions you are asked to answer are thought provoking and will help you to understand yourself better.The author knows her subject well (overeating) as she has herself been though the nightmare that is food addiction.If you feel you may have a problem with food or, if you want some help in staying abstinent, this is the tool for you.The size makes it convenient to carry around with you and I have been toting it around and jotting notes when I feel I need to "vent" my feelings. Excellent book.NOW! A cookbook containing recipes for food addicts (no sugar, no flour and measured ingredients) would be the perfect companion to this Journal.Hopefully, this is next on our author's list!!!
