This sounds core-friendly: Overcoming Overeating: Living Free in a World of Food by Jane R. Hirschmann, Carol H. Munter Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Hirschman and Munter, who teach at Manhattan's New School for Social Research and conduct therapy groups, here present a three-part program to help overeaters to "live free in a world of food." The authors warn against dieting, with its weight-off-on-again discouragements, focusing on methods successfully adopted by their clients. Case histories dramatize the results of learning to distinguish "stomach hunger"the body's legitimate need for sustenanceand artificial craving for treats as substitute for emotional satisfaction. Interviewees quoted here who have conquered food obsessions support the authors' claim that the program is revolutionary. The book is wordy but engagingly informal and accessible. It includes two questionnaires, one of which the authors request readers complete and return to them. First serial to Family Circle; Psychotherapy Book Club and Social Science Book Club selections.

I have this book. My copy is so worn the pages are getting as flimsy as toilet paper. It is a wonderful book, and I haven't picked it up in quite awhile. I need to re-read it. Some of my favorite quotes are in it. One of my favorites is "Eating compulsively (to fix emotional hurts) is like applying ice cream to a cut on your leg." The whole thing in this book is learning to accept yourself and love yourself, wherever and however you are right now. Then it deals a lot with learning to distinguish the difference between what they call "Mouth" hunger (wanting something, eating to soothe yourself, emotional eating) and "Stomach" hunger (the need to eat because you body needs it). It goes along with Core's guidelines of eating when hungry & stopping when satisfied. (I REALLY need to re-read this now that I'm doing Core.) I think it's a good book.....practically everything other sentence is highlighted in my copy. Jerie
