You want a diet book. You think you can handle this. Probably not unless you have the emotional guts to really look at what YOU have done to yourself AND how your family, friends and yes of course the media has brainwashed you into a mental midget around food. You deal with food the way everyone else tells you too and until you can form your own relationship with food and what you do with it you will definitely be tied to the body you now have. The Mental Diet and The Complete Workbook and Personal Journal can change that.
