Hi all! On the advice of someone in another thread (I can't remember who, sorry) I have begun reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Thinking-Revolutionary-Permanently-Relationship/dp/1600377491

It deals with the psychological side of eating, especially for those of us who feel like we think about food a lot and overeat compulsively. It's not gimmicky so far, though I'm not that far into it yet. It occurred to me that it might be helpful to have a small group of folks reading it together and talking about it. Is anyone interested? It's available as paperback, for Kindle (my preference) or on iBooks. It may be available as an audiobook too but I'm not sure that would be the best format to get the most out of it.

If anyone is interested, just let me know. I think it would be cool to read a chapter one week, and try to apply it the next week, then read another chapter, apply that one, etc.

Sounds likr a good idea

Well for 99 cents (Kindle edition), I'm going to check it out. I'm in if anyone wants to discuss.

Awesome. It seems a bit "pop-psy" but sort of makes sense to me so far. I have to admit I already flew through principle #1 and am reading about #2 now. I have a feeling I may have to wait some time to put these into practice since I am still so soon post-op. I'd be interested to hear what you think, as someone who is already at goal.

OK. I've downloaded it but haven't started reading yet. I'll work on it. I read The Beck Diet Solution while I was still pre-op. It had some great ideas, but I couldn't get with the program enough to get to an overweight BMI from an obese BMI.

Who is the author of the book? I've found 2 different books by different authors. Thanks!

For 99 cents you can't go wrong! I just downloaded to my Kindle. Great idea to start a book club!

There's a workbook too!

I'm in. Going to buy now.

Awesome. Let me know when you guys are ready to discuss step 1. I will say I have already used some of the advice in step 1!

Is there information specific to wls out just dietingin general?

Not WLS. It's abut changing your emotional relationship with food. It's not a diet book.

I'm in. Just bought it.

I'm in too

Have you guys started reading it? I'm curious what you thought of the ego/inner child stuff? It sounded odd to me at first, but I have been having a lot of "eye hunger" and have been able to use the "that's just the child" trick several times now.
