Can anyone rec a good book to deal with the emotional issues of overeating

....One that has really worked for them. Down to earth and practical stuff etc

bump. I'd be keen to know of one too, please.

Not sure about over-eating, but there's some good stuff about the psychology of eating in India Knight/Nerys Thomas's book 'The Idiot Proof Diet'

It is essentially a low carb plan, but it is written by two women who followed it themselves and lost a shedload of weight (5 stone each), and is very straightforward and motivating.

Even if you don't want to do the low carb bit, it's interesting reading - try getting it from the library rather than spending the money on it.

It was all my Mothers fault

I'm reading one by Marisa Peer - I haven't got very far yet but it all makes sense so far.

this is it It is about changing your relationship with food and as far as I have read that has meant adjusting the language you use.

I have read the India and Nerys book too. It is a good read and makes sense but I couldn't follow the diet - a bit too severe for me.
