- Are you dieting in public, but snacking in private?
- Are you constantly on a weight loss programme, only to gain weight in a year or so?
- Do you believe you could be addicted to chocolate?
- Do you reach for the cake tin when you're feeling stressed, upset, or angry?
- Do you buy biscuits for 'visitors' but end up eating them yourself?
- Do you buy treats for the kids that the kids never get to eat?
- Do you raid the fridge when you're bored or lonely?
- Do you have to eat to feel secure, but hate the shape you are?
If you have answered 'yes' to more than one of these questions, maybe you have a relationship issue with food.
My name is June Brereton and I have written a book, called Dying to Diet. This is not a new 'Weight Loss The Easy Way' book. It is a book which considers the psychological and emotional factors that causes us to use food in the hope that it will make us feel more secure, comfortable, or even to beat ourselves up with. I am very interested to hear aspects of your personal struggles with food. In particular: - Your dieting experiences
- How you view your body image
- If you yo-yo diet
- If you comfort eat
- If you compulsively eat
To the right you will find a list of chapter headings which will appear in the book. The links takes you to a short extract from each chapter. I hope you will find something you can relate to.
