Description
Does this sound like your client? “Food will make me fat. My body should be perfect. I am ashamed of how I eat. I am not in control of my body, I am only lovable when I’m thin.” An unhealthy relationship with food, weight, and body image can cause scores of irrational beliefs that will affect every aspect of your life.
The Rules of “Normal” Eating targets these beliefs, as well as feelings and behaviors, and points the way toward genuine physical and emotional fulfillment. With humor, compassion, and practical wisdom, this book outlines balanced attitudes and patterns that will benefit all types of eaters. Learn the four rules that “normal” eaters follow instinctively. Change negative thinking and unhealthy habits. Manage difficult emotions, rather than starving or stuffing them. Feel healthy and “normal” around food. Create a life that is truly satisfying.
