Product Description
More than 80 percent of all Americans have been on a diet at some point in their lives. Low fat, low carb, high protein?you name it?they?ve tried it. Isn?t there a better way to break the cycle in the battle of the bulge? After years of futile dieting, readers know there?s more to weight control than what they eat. Having discovered the power that food has over their lives, counselor Elyse Fitzpatrick, author of Overcoming Fear, Worry, and Anxiety, helps them: - identify destructive eating habits
- break the vicious cycle of emotional eating
- develop a flexible plan suited to unique situations
God knows everything about us...where we?ve been and where we?re going. Because He knows us so well, He can deeply transform us, giving us the contentment we long for.

 makes me feel guiltyI May 25, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have read about half of this book and so far I am having a lot of trouble with it. First of all, the book deals almost exclusively with overeating. I suffer from anorexia, so the book hasn't spoken to my issue too much so far. Also, the author really reiterates over and over again how sinful overeating is (and giving food too much of a prominent place in your life to include restricting your intake). So far, I have found no helpful advice, for change - just more and more criticism of the way I've been living my life. I know that God should be the center of my life. I am striving to get food back into it's proper place. This book has done nothing but make me feel worse about myself. I am hoping that sometime in the second half of the book the author will provide some concrete help to me.

To think I found this book at Wal-mart! I have been struggling with my weight for a few years and I can't believe the wisdom and encouragement I have received from this book. Christian women will find hope and answers to why you keep doing what you hate (over-eating). It is thinking differently that will keep us from overeating. The author gives us truth straight from the word of God that will change our way of thinking and challenge us to live a life that brings glory to Him. I think the author goes right to the heart of the problem. You won't regret reading this book!
The Best Book Available On Eating Problems September 17, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have read hundreds of books on how to overcome eating disorders...but no other book addresses it as clear and precise that the answer to our struggles is found in God's Word.
Elyse gives practical, applicable methods to evaluate your eating in light of God's Word. Even if you didn't have an eating disorder of any kind, reading this book and applying God's Truths will bring you closer to Him and bring you freedom from any habitual sin that you struggle with.
I have read other books by Elyse Fitzpatrick and they have all been very instrumental in helping me overcome my self focused eating problems and move on to a mature life as a Christian.
Because of the Lord and reading His Word and Elyse's book, I have overcome a horrific eating disorder and haven't retreated back to old habits and dysfunctional ways of thinking. Elyse goes in to much depth about how powerful your thought life is.
I think that if you truly want to change and you are ready to allow God to change your heart, there is no other book that I have found that has helped me so much.
She is encouraging and I'm so thankful to God for bringing this book to my attention. You won't be disappointed.

I noticed that the reviews of this book were either really good or really bad. I'm on the "really good" side. Finally a book that treats the real issues and focuses on a right relationship with God as the source of freedom. This book is great for spiritual growth and gives practical help as well. I followed the eating guidelines (basically a set of questions you ask yourself before you eat) and felt that I was set free. I didn't have to fear fattening foods / restaurants / dessert / etc. or count calories. I just ate and stopped when I knew the Lord would want me to. However, it's contingent upon obedience to the Lord, and when my relationship with the Lord grew distant (through other circumstances in my life) my obedience stopped and I went back to my old diet plans ... the ones that work for awhile but lead to obsession and bingeing. The connection between spiritual life and food abuse is clear. I recommend this book because it recognizes the fact that our relationship with the Lord is the root of everything.

This book is excellent if you struggle with an eating disorder or body image problems of any kind. Completely scriptual information from a woman who has been there and has seen the faithfulness of God. I would recommend and buy this for anyone I knew who suffers with food or obsessive physical appearance thoughts and feelings. She gives practical insight and steps to take to be set free by the power of God's Word.
