For over fifty years, nutritional and medical scientists have
dissected the problem of obesity. The result of this half-century
of investigation has been a series of recommendations about what
and how much to eat, and an unintended consequence is that we've
been deprived of the joy of eating. From low-fat diets to the
no-carb craze, the market has been continually flooded with one
assortment of fad products and diets after another. So, when does
it end? If you're struggling with emotional overeating and are
trying to lose weight, you should know that you don't need to deny
yourself certain foods. In The Emotional Eating Workbook, you'll
learn about the real psychological needs that underlie your food
cravings, how to meet those needs in positive ways, be mindful of
your body, and find the deep satisfaction many overeaters seek in
food. It's not about food. It's about how food is used to
self-soothe, numb ourselves against the pain of living, or
self-medicate in coping with stress and unresolved emotions. The
Anchor Program (TM) approach detailed in this book is not about
dieting. It's about being anchored to your true, authentic self.
When you find your unique anchor, you will relate better to your
body, you'll know intuitively how to feed your body, and you'll
reach the weight that's right for you.
Isn't it time you got off the diet treadmill? In The Food Addiction
Recovery Workbook, physician Carolyn Coker Ross offers the
proven-effective Anchor Program (TM) to help you curb cravings, end
body dissatisfaction, manage stress and emotions without food, and
truly satisfy your soul. If you're struggling with obesity or food
addiction, you've probably been told that you must deprive yourself
of certain foods in order to lose weight. You may have also been
convinced-by the media and by our culture-that if you finally
become thin your life will be better, you'll be happier, and your
suffering will come to an end. The problem is-it's not all about
the food. It's about how food is used to self-soothe, to numb
ourselves against the pain of living or to cope with stress and
unresolved emotions. Even as your waist whittles away, the problems
that caused your food addiction won't disappear. The Anchor Program
(TM) approach detailed in this workbook is not about dieting. It's
about being anchored to your true, authentic self. When you find
your unique anchor, you will relate better to your body, you will
know intuitively how to feed your body, and you will reach the
weight that's right for you. Anyone who's been on the diet
treadmill-losing and regaining lost weight-will admit that losing
weight doesn't instantly bring health or happiness. That's because
losing weight is a red herring for the real issue, the misuse of
food to solve a problem that has nothing to do with food. This book
offers a whole-person approach that blends practical information on
managing stress and regulating emotions without relying on food. If
you're ready to uncover the true cause of your food addiction,
you'll finally be able to embrace a balanced diet and reach the
weight that's right for you.
When Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross's mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease, she searches frantically for ways to help her without much
success. Then she, herself, is diagnosed with a serious medical
condition for which conventional medicine has no treatments, and
must focus her efforts on her own journey to healing. In the
process of looking for a cure for her mother and then, later for
herself, she realizes that healing goes beyond what she learned in
medical school. Dr. Ross explores spiritual healing, complementary
and alternative medicine, shamanism and more in this moving account
of a physician's transformation from doctor to healer. Along the
way, she meets many individuals who have healed themselves or been
healed from serious and life-threatening conditions. These miracles
in healing change the way she views medicine and healing in a way
that she could not have expected. Her own personal journey began
with her mother's illness and then her own. The greatest challenge
she will face, however, is her son's illness which forces her to
face her own dark night of the soul. She returns from this journey
with a new passion for healing and a fearless desire to help others
faced with similar challenges.
