Synopsis

Address the Causes of Compulsive Eating, and Nurture a Love Affair with Yourself
Why do we eat too much? Because we are hungry—but not for more food. On Feeding the Hungry Heart, you will learn how a deep internal hunger for self-respect and fulfillment often translates into compulsive eating.
Geneen Roth—a “no more diets pioneer” for more than 15 years—has helped thousands of women look at the real truth about the unconscious motivations that can lead to distorted eating patterns. Diets fail to work, Roth says, because they treat the symptoms of overeating, not the real problems. By looking at childhood programming, and learning to pay attention to what your body really needs, you can restore balance in your life, and heal at the deepest level.

Feeding the Hungry Heart has helped a generation of women live diet-free by encouraging them to replace overeating with self-awareness and compassion. This live recording documents many exercises, visualizations, and Roth’s powerful “Four Principles for Breaking Free” eating guidelines.

Saw Geneen when this book was a few days old, at a women’s conference here in Santa Cruz county California where she used to live, and where she began this work with small groups of women in her home. Was SO impressed as she’s a witty, perceptive writer and almost no one was taking about these issue......more

Goodreads review by Lain on April 11, 2010

I so wish I'd read this book about twenty years ago! Though I've never experienced the binge/diet cycle, I certainly can relate to many of the described attitudes towards food. I think my young adulthood would've been very different if I'd discovered Geneen Roth before now. Food doesn't have to be f......more

Goodreads review by Grazyna on April 24, 2020

The book is awesome, and full of new ideas for me. It uncovers that we have two kinds of hunger - bodily, and emotional. Food will never satisfy our emotional hunger, and sometimes nothing will. We just might try to learn to live with it. I like author's approach, and pieces provided by the other pe......more

Goodreads review by KB on July 02, 2018

I skimmed through this book back in February, then in July when I was putting it in a box of books to give away, I looked through it again and added a star. Some quotes that stood out to me this time: End of Part One, p. 126: "Hunger is so focused on what it is not getting and on its own definition o......more
