Summary: Finally Free
Comment: I have struggled with compulsive eating for as long as I can remember. I have tried the "eat only when you're hungry" plan prescribed for compulsive overeaters, as well as just about every diet you can name, only to find my self-destructive behavior worse than before. And then, I found this book.
Admittedly, when I first read the prescribed road to recovery, I was none too thrilled. In the beginning, I assure you, it's tough. But the rewards are so far and beyond your wildest dreams, I can't even begin to explain. In ten weeks I lost 25 pounds as a side effect of the recovery process. The weight loss, though quite welcome, has not been the true blessing of recovery. It has been my ability to think about things other than food, to release my feelings of inferiority, of weakness, of shame.
The program emphasizes the importance of support from friends, family members, and eating disorder groups. I recovered in a foreign country with a different language where I had NO ONE. No friends, no family, no nothing. If you are blessed with the support of loved ones, I promise you will succeed. I was able to kick a disease that breeds in isolation while I was all alone. And if I could do it, anyone can. Buy this book and take what Kay has to say to heart. Her advice has forever changed my life.

Summary: I'm back
Comment: I bought this book 12 years ago and attended Kay Sheppards treatment program. I lost 60 lbs, had 5 years of abstinence and the only freedom from food I have ever known. Then I decided to get "flexible" so it would be easier for me to live in "the world". At first I thought I had it under control, but slowly my eating has escalated and now I find myself 45 lbs heavier, back into bingeing, uncontrollable consumption of sweets and a bevy of emotional and health problems to go with. After reading old journals and seeing how happy and sane I was during those 5 years --- well I decided I can continue with this trek toward insanity and death or I can surrender myself to this simple program. So I'm back.
The critics of this program are either in denial or not full blown food addicts --- yet. This is no magic bullet. It works if you work it.
Thank you Kay for your uncompromising honesty.

Summary: The book might develop other side of obsession!
Comment: Looks like a good plan and maybe it will work, but i guess a problem is more psychological than phisiological. author states that ur born with it, but come'on first u start dieting and getting obsessed with ur appearence and than u get an addiction. I used to be normal.. id diet. then would binge on smth i want, but wouldnt eat everything i see.. i wouldnt be concerned.. id think.. oh yeah i just failed coz im not motivated enough, but now i fail and i think im sick! there are ppl who are fat and they eat and they arent concerned, thats why they dont develop that addiction, and there are ppl who are quite skinny (im 5'10 and 130 lbs) and want to lose like 5 pounds and are obsessed with it and thats why addicted! Maybe i wouldnt be if i stopped caring, but i cant be 5 pounds fatter! u see my point? hmm.. hope so! so this book is for those who has gone way too far in addiction.. maybe im getting there too.. but i hope to fight it other way not writing down everything i eat and check ingredient for hours..moreoever i want to enjoy a slice of pizza from time to time.. but be able to stop when i dont want! just want to be normal again!!!
