any good books?

hi everyone,

i'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good books that have been especially helpful in dealing with eating and healthy ways to think about eating.

i found something on the internet - i think the website was fatfairygodmother.com - that looked like it might be good, but you have to order it. has anyone heard anything about it? i looked for it at the bookstore but couldn't find it. i found some other book at the bookstore, but it didn't tell me anything i didn't already know. i'm really looking for something that might offer a new perspective.

thanks!
hope you're having a good day...

Hey Lauren,

If you haven't looked at them yet, some general 12 Step stuff might be helpful, as one aspect of this addiction,
(food,)that it has in common with other addictions, is the self defeating thought process. Meditation books are also good, especially ones that have thoughts for the day. You may be ready to look beyond the mechanics of the illness and at the underlying emotional stuff. Please post back and let me know what you find.

Peace and joy,

Hi Laurenl

I enjoy reading cookbooks that are vegetarian based, and about healthy eating. "Diet for a Small Planet" is good, and "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest," by Mollie Katzen is another good one.
