Koenig s book is written for practitioners who lack expertise in
this area, and provides clinical strategies and therapeutic
techniques to explore clients feelings about food and their bodies
to get at the root of these issues. It includes descriptions of how
food and weight problems surface in conjunction with psychological
and medical conditions, as well as how they create difficulties in
various life stages and situations. Packed with insights and
practical tips, this unique book teaches clinicians how to help
clients make peace with food and the scale and balance nutrition
and exercise in a healthy lifestyle."
Written in easy-to-understand, everyday language, The Rules of
"Normal" Eating lays out the four basic rules that "normal" eaters
follow instinctively — eating when they're hungry, choosing foods
that satisfy them, eating with awareness and enjoyment, and
stopping when they're full or satisfied. Along with specific skills
and techniques that help promote change, the book presents a proven
cognitive-behavioral model of transformation that targets beliefs,
feelings, and behaviors about food and eating and points the way
toward genuine physical and emotional fulfillment. Readers learn
how to reprogram their dysfunctional beliefs, manage uncomfortable
feelings without turning to food, and establish new eating habits
that tune their bodies into natural sensations of hunger, pleasure,
satisfaction, and satiation. Filled with humorous insights,
compassion, and practical wisdom, the book outlines balanced
attitudes and patterns that benefit all types of eaters.
Starting Monday is based on the simple premise that when our
behaviors don't align with our expressed intentions, we've got a
conflict going on, often outside of our awareness. The book helps
readers dig deeply into their psyches to figure out what mistaken
beliefs and needless fears are holding them back from achieving
their health and fitness goals. The polarized feelings for
disregulated eaters to identify and resolve fall within these seven
key areas: 1) create lasting change, 2) making conscious choices,
3) feel deserving, 4) how to comfort themselves, 5) know what's
enough, 6) manage intimacy, and 7) developing a healthy identity.
Starting Monday first helps readers unearth their mixed feelings in
these seven areas, then teaches them how to change their beliefs
and behaviors to resolve them. Using humor, plain talk, examples
from her clinical experience, reflection exercises, case studies,
and homework, Koenig lets troubled eaters know that their yo-yo
patterns of eating and self care are due to conflicts. She shies
away from easy answers and, instead, provides hope and concrete
actions to developing a permanent, positive relationship with food.
This workbook teaches how to heal emotional wounds without burying
them in food and weight obsessions. Get comfortable with the seven
most difficult feelings: guilt, shame, helplessness, anxiety,
disappointment, confusion and loneliness. A strong and healthy
person will emerge with this soul-healing workbook, enhancing your
eating and your life. An extraordinary, powerful connection exists
between feeling and feeding that, if damaged, may lead to one
relying on food for emotional support, rather than seeking
authentic happiness. This unique workbook takes on the seven
emotions that plague problem eaters - guilt, shame, helplessness,
anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and loneliness - and shows
readers how to embrace and learn from their feelings. Written with
honesty and humor, the book explains how to identify and label a
specific emotion, the function of that emotion, and why the emotion
drives food and eating problems. Each chapter has two sets of
exercises: experiential exercises that relate to emotions and
eating, and questionnaires that provoke thinking about and
understanding feelings and their purpose. Supplemental pages help
readers identify emotions and chart emotional development. The
final part of the workbook focuses on strategies for disconnecting
feeling from food, discovering emotional triggers, and

From a therapist and expert in emotional eating, the first book to
explore the link between weight gain and women who do too much,
complete with proven techniques for dropping pounds.
Many women put too much on their plates, both literally and
figuratively. In Nice Girls Finish Fat, psychotherapist Karen R.
Koenig explains the link between the two and gives overweight women
detailed advice on how to lose their extra baggage--both emotional
and physical--by becoming more assertive in every aspect of life.
For the millions of overweight women in America, diet and exercise
just aren't cutting it. That's because many of these women have
emotional issues buried deep beneath those stubborn pounds, issues
that must be dealt with first if weight loss plans are to succeed.
In this illuminating book, based on decades of professional
experience, Karen Koenig offers on-the-page psychotherapy to help
readers attack the roots of their food problems. With her engaging
personal style, she teaches women about the biological connections
between repressed emotions and eating, revealing the ways many
women use food to stuff their anger, control their aggression, and
assuage their feelings of guilt--all in the pursuit of being
"nice." Giving "good girls" permission to love themselves first,
Koenig offers thought-provoking quizzes and questions to help
readers identify and overcome the habits that have been holding
them back. Empowering readers to gain the confidence they need to
lose weight, Nice Girls Finish Fat not only shows women how to stop
obsessing about food and develop healthy eating habits, it teaches
readers skills to improve every aspect of their lives.
Helping Patients Outsmart Overeating, written by an eating disorder
therapist and a physician, offers a new paradigm for doctors and
health care providers who treat patients with eating and weight
concerns. It describes how both parties are frustrated by
weight-loss plans and programs that fail in the long term, and
presents a science-based explanation for why diets fail and how
they, in fact, may adversely impact patients' mental and physical
health. The authors illustrate how providers can truly help
patients by using empathy, compassion, and motivational
interviewing. They explain how helping patients strengthen skills
related to self-awareness, emotional management, stress reduction,
appetite attunement, perseverance and effective self-care can
improve self-efficacy and support sustained motivation in improving
health and wellness promoting behaviors. The issue of weight stigma
is addressed, along with how professionals' view of their own
eating and weight affects the patient-provider relationship. This
book introduces clinicians to tools from eating and success
psychology, Intuitive Eating, Lifestyle Medicine, and Health and
Wellness Coaching, within a weight-inclusive paradigm. It also
details a collaborative model for working with ancillary
disciplines to give patients and providers the comprehensive
support needed for lasting success.
