Product Description
Studies show that the reason why many people gain weight—and keep it on—is emotional eating, not physical eating. Now Dr. Roger Gould, a psychotherapist and a leading authority on emotional eating, shows how to overcome fear, anxiety, and other stresses and stop using food as an over-the-counter tranquilizer that can cause weight gain. With 12 practical ways to stop emotional eating and an eight-session program, Dr. Gould helps you become your own eating therapist and shrink yourself for good.
I was not impressed with this book. It did not give any tools that you might need to help the stress eating.

Have just flipped through this book, but I am anxious to read it—I think it will be very helpful.
Rating: 4 / 5
I noticed that the lower reviews came from persons who felt that the book didn’t cover specifics on what to do to loose the weight. What I felt the author is offering is the “tool” to help you recognize WHY you’re overweight and the steps you can take to correct the WHY, which is emotional eating. Now everyone’s emotional reasons are different, hence it would be a very lengthy book to read, and it would be too general if “tools” where given. When reading the summary version of this book I was shaking my head in amazed agreement of how relevant and on-point the book was for me. I agreed with the material presented and recognized that if put into practice, I can begin to turn my current situation around emotionally, physically and spiritually. When I purchase the book I will come back to amend my rating.
Rating: 3 / 5
Sorry but I couldn’t disagree more with most of these reviews. While very good at nailing the problem (I definitely saw myself in it!), it falls short with a solution. Just more behavior modification. Nothing I haven’t heard before. Cheaper than a shrink and about as effective.

I am very satisfied with the book. It was listed as used, but appears to be brand new. It arrived in a timely manner and I will order from this seller again.
