I read "When Food is Love" in several sittings, but I couldn't put this book down. Roth's enthralling words captivated me. I could identify so deeply with her wantingness in life and how that relates to eating. It is autobiographical as well as offering bits of advice here and there. I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone who has a poor relationship with food.

I read a number of books on emotional eating this spring and found this book, as well as the Roth book about eating at the fridge to be long on angst and short on solution. So you identify with her-good as far as that goes. I prefer to use my time and energy to find a better way. I found Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and The end of diets by Dilia de la altagracia to be more useful than Roth. But the book I am actually following is by Stanton Peele and Archie Brodsky, The truth about addiction and recovery, for it teaches you how to design a method to deal with your particular problem. It goes all the way-not just halfway. And for that I am thankful.

through telling her story, she is telling you another way. a better way. not to diet! to learn to love yourself and to stop depriving and indulging. she shows you that with allowing and enjoying, you CAN find a balance. it isn't an immdiate result but, it is a lasting one for the body and... the mind.
