 inspirational Sep 23, 2008
This book is well organized and helpful to anyone- not just people with ED's. There are twelve steps that are meant to help people and they are easy to understand as well as well-written.
The easy-to-read format is a plus, and the quotes included are great. My favorite is "Gratitude is no only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all the others" by Cicero.
You won't regret buying this book. I loved it. Its quick and easy and perfect for those lonely days. What can be wrong with that?
Inspirational albeit slightly hard to follow Sep 22, 2008
Tuchy Palmieri's The Food Contrarian follows on the heels of Sex and Intimacy: The Gifts of Life, Tuchy's Law And Other Contrarian Quotes To Help You In Life's Journey and Money And So Much More: The True Meaning of Wealth.
Everyone loves a good quote and Tuchy Palmieri's The Food Contrarian does not disappoint. The book, while inspirational and informational is a little hard to follow along at places. However, I did enjoy the quotes and found them to be extremely relevant to those suffering or recovering from any sort of addiction.
There is useful information in the form of AA plus 12-step program motivation. The Food Contrarian is definitely a must-have gift for anyone in your life with an addiction or buy it for your own book collection.
I enjoyed the book and think that others will too.
Great encouragement Sep 22, 2008
At first I wondered at all the slogans. But when you first read this book it is probably because you are ready to deal with your eatting issues. The real value in this book is when temptation hits. Instead of picking up the fork, pick up the book for some quick encouragement. Most people don't call a sponsor or friend because of guilt, but opening these pages when you are ready to go back to old ways is a real encourager to stay on track!
Inspirational light and fun Sep 12, 2008
I suffer from an eating disorder. I am in recovery and everyday is a gift. This book has been a wonderful addition to my recovery library. I loved this touching, inspirational yet airy delight of a book. The author does a great job of dealing with a very tough and emotional subject and bringing equal degrees of inspiration, tough love and love to the writing.
I loved the look at the Steps as I am a firm believer in the 12 step program and some of the quotes are now printed all over my house.
It is very difficult to have an eating disorder and it is even more difficult to admit and deal with it. Thank goodness we are in this generation where books such as this one can be written openly and shared with those of us who suffer.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to start off their day (or end their day) with an inspiring quote and a little boost to get them to live "one day at a time".
Eat Right & Help Your Children & Others Aug 01, 2008
My wife loved this book. She has hung quotes up on our refridgerator that have caught my attention. This lead to me reading the book. I enjoyed it. It has helped me eat healthier and think twice before I put something unhealthy in my mouth.
We have a family of three children. I think by giving them healthy choices and eating right now, they will have a good chance to eat healthier when they become adults.
We have relatives with eating disorders. I think they would benefit greatly from this book. There are so many good quotes that make you think.
