Binge eating self help book suggestion?

IndyRichard · March 2011

Hi! I have been struggling with what seems to be binge eating for years now. I seem to always eat even when im not hungry. I mostly foods that make me happy. For some reason i associate eating fatty foods with being happy and with being depressed. Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows of any good books to help someone work their way out of binge eating or eating for reasons other than to survive. Or any other advise i could use. I only seem to go about a week without bingeing but always make up for it the week after.

I've got a few! There is 'Crave' - Why You Binge Eat and How to Stop By Cynthia M. Bulik, and also most of the books written by Geneen Roth including Women, Food and God.

Both are AWESOME!

The problem here is your subconcious needs a way to relieve stress and use energy, and so it says "Eat more food, so I can digest it and use energy!". Yes it does take energy to digest food.

An excellent book on the topic is No Ordinary Moments by Dan Millman. It covers not only habits such as eating, drinking etc, but a whole range of other topics. I highly recommend it as well as Dan Millman's other books.
