half the way March 30, 2007
I read a number of books on emotional eating this spring and found this book, as well as the Roth book about eating at the fridge to be long on angst and short on solution. So you identify with her-good as far as that goes. I prefer to use my time and energy to find a better way. I found Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and The end of diets by Dilia de la altagracia to be more useful than Roth. But the book I am actually following is by Stanton Peele and Archie Brodsky, The truth about addiction and recovery, for it teaches you how to design a method to deal with your particular problem. It goes all the way-not just halfway. And for that I am thankful.

through telling her story, she is telling you another way. a better way. not to diet! to learn to love yourself and to stop depriving and indulging. she shows you that with allowing and enjoying, you CAN find a balance. it isn't an immdiate result but, it is a lasting one for the body and... the mind.

Appetites by Geneen Roth August 1, 2005
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

This book follows a series of books by Geneen Roth in which she addresses the connection between food and our emotions. Emotional eating or not eating is a way in which we manage our feelings. She is a wonderful writer who is able to clarify difficult issues by sharing autobiographical vignettes with humor and insight. She tells the story of how she overcame emotional eating. It's a book everyone who struggles with food should read.

Wanted: Less Fluff, More Stuff September 7, 2004

Although there were some interesting and enlightening concepts hidden within the pages of this book - most of it was entirely too autobiographical and boring to be of much use to me. I kept waiting for her stories to tie into the condition of being overweight and/or unsatisfied. She starts on several different veins that I feel could have been interesting and much more deeply explored, but dissapointingly, they weren't.

Buy the books instead. Her screechy voice is hard to listen to.
