Does this sound like you? Food will make me fat. My body should be perfect. I am ashamed of how I eat. I am not in control of my body. I am only lovable when I'm thin. Eating is the only pleasure I have in life. An unhealthy relationship with food, weight, and body image can cause scores of irrational beliefs—beliefs that will affect every aspect of your life. The Rules of “Normal” Eating targets these beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, and points the way toward genuine physical and emotional fulfillment. Filled with humorous insights, compassion, and practical wisdom, this book outlines balanced attitudes and patterns that will benefit all types of eaters.
