I am not one for the whole "self-help" type books, because I need someone keeping me accountable on things. I need someone to hold my hand. But, this book caught my eye because I have ALWAYS had to struggle when it came to my relationship with food. I would skip meals in highschool and avoid food. I still avoid food at friend's houses because I am worried about judgement for what/how much I may/may not eat. I stress eat and I use food as an emotional crutch.

This book helped me understand why. This book felt like it was taking my hand and leading me through the way to fix all of those things. How to fix my relationship with food and work towards a healthier me.

Highly recommended for ANYONE that has issues with food, or eating/not eating. I hope this author releases more self-help books along this same line of thought because it made sense.

Recommended by a friend and not what I expected. Quick read that makes you face yourself and really dig deep about the issues you have with food. 95% solid pep talk 5% information about nutrition and such, and I’m okay with that. I appreciated the opportunity to be reflective and have a heart to heart with myself.

This book is real and messy. It is not a guide about what to eat or how to eat (ok.. some of that is in there but it's not really the point). It is a real talk, get down and dirty, acknowledgement of where you are as a person with respect to food. It is more of a workbook than a "book", and I am certain that I will reread it as I make process in my food relationship. While an emotional experience, I am finding this text motivating and helpful.

Classic KSD! A quick and entertaining read with lots of good nuggets.

A couple of my favorites:
We can behave our way into being something else.
"Do more of what is already working" is a damn good action plan.

This book didn’t do what I wanted it to. The pagination and font size is annoying. It’s a short article spread out over 200+ pages.

A must read book for anyone struggling with their bodies/food/self compassion.

Gives you the insight you need to move forward.
