From miracle shakes to crash diets, it seems everyone has a magic cure guaranteed to get you into your skinny jeans--for a price. Americans spend $55 billion on weight-loss products every year, a figure that doesn't account for the emotional cost of gaining back the weight you lost because of a quick-fix fad.
Twenty years ago, Overcoming Overeating changed everything for those who diet/binge. Here, with a new Introduction and updates, Jane Hirschmann and Carol Munter bring you the groundbreaking book with a plan that doesn't control your eating habits, but cures them instead, once and for all. Inside, you'll find proven techniques that thousands of men and women swear by, including how to:
* Give up dieting forever
* Learn to use food as a fuel rather than as a tranquilizer
* Relax around food and find your way to your natural weight
* Move beyond constant thoughts of eating and weight in order to live a more satisfying life
AT LAST! A BOOK TO HELP YOU BREAK OUT OF THE DIET/BINGE CYCLE--AND LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY.
Diet/binge. Good food/bad food. Punishment/reward. These are the compulsive eater's nightmares, a longtime pattern of recrimination and guilt that ultimately leads to more overeating and more weight gain. Now, for the first time, here is a proven, step-by-step plan that doesn't control your eating habits--but cures them, once and for all. OVERCOMING OVEREATING will show you how to:

, Stop overeating and lose weight naturally
, Move beyond your negative preoccupation with eating and weight toward a fuller, more satisfying life
