My struggle with food is admittedly not that bad compared to what some face, but I am definitely being more aware now when I want to wander into my kitchen. The first big question I ask myself: Am I actually hungry? I have been reading this book during my first few weeks back at Weight Watchers and have a better grip on mindful eating now than I ever have. I didn't develop my new sense of control over these last three weeks; I've been building towards this for quite some time and this book has helped me put it into action.

I know I will often pull this book of the shelf for a quick reminder or tip on a mindful meditation any time I need to unwind, whether I'm headed to the kitchen or not.

While I do some emotional eating, it's not constant, nor would I consider myself to be in need of help with the issue.

I'm not really sure what I thought this book would be, but it just didn't feel like what I was looking for. All the advice is good, I think. And honestly, it could be applied to a lot of things that you consider a "problem" - such as drinking, gambling, other reckless behaviors - unless they are to the point My guess is this would be a great guide if you were an emotional eater.

And honestly, it could be applied to a lot of things that you consider a "problem" - such as drinking, gambling, other reckless behaviors - unless they are to the point that you need professional help. In which case, I really believe that's the best option.

It did provide a lot of examples of things to do to help yourself, but I'm concerned about some of them being somewhat addictive or taking one addiction and replacing it with a new one.

A good example would be when it suggests shopping to improve your mood. Though the book makes a point of pointing out dangers and things to be aware of with those methods, Ok, I'm not the target market for this book. Though the book makes a point of pointing out dangers and things to be aware of with those methods, they still seemed shallow and not effective in solving root issues to me.

Also, there's a misappropriation issue with this book. I get this is a pet peeve of mine and nearly no one else's, but there's a lack of understanding of things like 'mantras' versus 'affirmations' and the real basis of deep spiritual practices that really agitated me. I value language and respect for others especially as concerns their religious and spiritual beliefs , so that really irked me.

I could see myself suggesting the book to people when needed, but I can also see myself summarizing parts I thought would be effective rather than making them read it. The book felt too shallow to me and like it had a bit too much filler. I think it would have been better presented as a blog post with a list in it rather than a book. Jul 18, Sarah Lee rated it liked it Shelves: health , self-help , mental-health , read-in This book had a lot of good idea, some were new to me some are ones I already knew.

And some were just totally unrealistic to me, but maybe they work for others? Find quiet and try to relax in a bathroom stall Though these are good ideas for those trying to not mood binge eat, most of these are good for any type of mental health issue.

I did like it enough that I will read the next one, more ways! Sep 10, maria rated it liked it Shelves: This book introduced me to mindful eating, which I'm in desperate need of right now going through a break up and wanting to turn to food to make me feel better.

There are some great tips in this book that I will be using but a good portion of the tips are not creative and wouldn't work for me surfing cyberspace? The first time I read this book I just skimmed through it. This time, I took the time to read each technique.

I found a lot of the suggestions to be very helpful for managing my emotional eating. Oct 17, Nupur rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction , nutrition.
