Women Food and God
I finished http://www.amazon.com/Women-Food-God-Unexpected-Everything/dp/1416543074/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280964958&sr=1-1 over the weekend and enjoyed it quite a bit. I think it would be a good book group type of thing - lots of things to share with other folks struggling with other ongoing issues.
Some notes I jotted down:
Obsession=Distraction
Avoidance=Survival
1. Continue behavior
2. Drastic change
3. Untangle the Meaning
4. Acceptance, focus on present moment
Her basic idea is that our issues around food are related to something deeper and bigger. If we can be more present with our food we can untie what is really going on with our food/drugs/booze/whatever negative overdone behavior or thing.
Her guidelines for eating to get there:
-Eat when you are hungry
-Eat sitting down in a calm environment, not including your car
-Eat without distraction (radio, phone, TV, paper, book, intense conversation or music)
-Eat what your body wants
-Eat until you are satisfied
