Good general information but I was hoping for ideas to overcoming the emotional reasons for overeating.

Kind of rude

This slim volume helped me, finally, identify the emotional hooks that most pull me into overeating. I really wish the book were longer because I’m still unclear on exactly what to do with this new knowledge. But, they say, naming is power, so watch out deprivation, entitlement, and insecurity, I’m keeping my eye on you.
This book also seemed particularly good at painting a realistic picture of what it takes to lose weight in our current food environment: committing to a goal of good health, sacrificing certain short-term pleasures for a longer term reward, changing habits, and planning. That’s what worked for me
