In other words, one has to navigate overeating or undereating while still consuming food. I think you said Trimpey addresses this in other books?
I'm glad I don't have those problems, besides possibly the amount of time I spend on the computer, which is difficult because I need the computer for work. I suppose you would have to draw a line, as in "I will not spend more than one hour a day devoted to leisure time on the computer," or "I will not spend more than $50 / month on shoes."
I haven't read the book "Taming the Feast Beast: How to Recognize the Voice of Fatness and End Your Struggle with Food Forever," nor do I intend to, since I don't need it. I do know that it was written prior to "The New Cure," and like the Small Book, contains some of Albert Ellis' ideas from REBT. I may go back through the Journal of Rational Recovery and read some of the articles on it, though.
For now, I can't properly speak to its content, however.
