Not for me August 18, 2008
This was the first book I ever read to try and combat my binge eating behavior that has been present for about seven years. I saw myself in all of the symptoms, but when I tried the program it almost made me more obsessed with food. Plus, I couldn't keep up with the "schedule" with my lifestyle. I understand that schedules are crucial for anorexics but for me it was not the answer. I have since read Intuitive Eating and I highly recommend that for anyone who has tried to stop binge eating and eating emotionally.

Success through education September 24, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I picked up this book over two years ago, and since then I have lost 55 pounds. This book was the first and most important step to beginning the process. I began binge eating - having learned it from my mother - in my early teens. It's all about the comfort "zoning out", self-medicating if you will. I have HATED my body (and ergo myself) since the age 22, the point at which my metabolism slowed and I stopped being as active as I had been up until I got married, and the binge eating caught up with me.br /br /This book provided the insight I needed to UNDERSTAND the disorder. I truly believe the key to overcoming any inner battle is education. I could not lose weight ("eat less, move more") on sheer willpower or for that fit-into-a-bikini mentality. Now I'm all about longevity, mental health, energy, and etc. Those are the true reasons to eat well and keep moving.br /br /I gave this book to a friend, and now I looking for another copy to keep in my library forever, both for reference when I struggle, and to share with any of my other friends and acquaintances who comment on my new shape and want to know "How did you do it?"

Overcoming Binge Eating September 6, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

The book has definate guidelines for overcoming this horrid vile eating disorder. The first time I used the book I had fantastic results but as the author points out, the possiblity for relapse is great. And believe me Mr. Fairburn knows what he is talking about. Recently I have gone backto the book and its concept but with no success, however, as the author points out No program will work if the person is not truly sincere about wanting to bring about a change. All in all: it is a good book, definately worth owning and despite the fact that THIS time I have not had the success I was looking for, I will continue to think of Christoper Fairburn as the second coming of Christ.

Help me get back on track! June 6, 2006
7 out of 10 found this review helpful

I purchased Dr. Fairburn's book about 5 years ago. By faithfully writing my food down daily and following his program, i stopped binge eating for over a year! br /br /Since that time, I have fallen off of the 'program' and am out of control with my eating again. I have tried WW, but my weight loss was only temporary and i began to binge and gained everything back. I've attempted to get back 'on the Fairburn program' several times, but I'll start keeping track and monitor my food by writing...and then, i'll start to slip and stop writing. The rest of the story goes downhill. br /br /I know success is possible as I proved to myself by not binging for a year that i could gain control over my binging. br /br /I want to re-dedicate myself to this program and I'm looking to gain the support of others who have this book, are just buying it or have been using it with success. br /br /Please contact me at LaSoprana@verizon.net!
