This serious picture book with humor will delight. The
artistMercedes McDonald works in true concert with the editorsto
create a picture book that gently instructs. Like Aesop's Fables,
the attitudes of the cups and scales strike lightning quick
insights.They show the trickery we can play and the shifting
thoughts thatcan lead toward or away from right action - with food
and with life.Cups & Scales does for the problem eater what the
popular Stools& Bottles does for the alcoholic. It looks at the
attitudes. Thecups and scales are characters; the illustrations are
in full color.Over the years a practice has grown up where many
peopleweigh and measure their food as part of a personal plan
ofrecovery from compulsive overeating, food addiction, anorexia,
bulimia, emotional eating and other eating disorders. Thereare many
women and men recovering who DO NOT weigh andmeasure their food.
The authors take no position on weighing andmeasuring food. There
are many strong feelings about it. Thisbook is neither endorsed by
nor sponsored by any organization.Here you will learn about
weighing and measuring food andemotions.
It is not the cups and scales or weighing and measuring
thatmakes my recovery. It is my perspective toward the cups
andscales and life that helps make life manageable and joyous.Cups
& Scales have more to do with a spiritual program than atfirst
look.
What do I bring to food and life with my attitudes --
towardquantity, big eyes, magical thinking, fear, ruts,
startingsomething with hope, self-nourishment, moving forward.
Myperception about an activity affects the act itself - fear,
self-pity, wanting it to be more than it is, fighting it, getting
tired of it, getting clarity about how it is helpful, trying a new
experience.Often my actions affect my well-being for the day. When
I amat peace with my food and my emotions, I can be at peace
withothers. When can I be on a "dry drunk" even when using cups
andscales to weigh and measure food?
What do cups and scales have to tell me?
Let's look.
