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.

Ok I'm going to check it out on my nook..

Count me in. Is there a set time/date to discuss?

Interesting idea. Maybe we can choose to discuss on the weekend. In Australia so I'm 15 hours ahead of you guys.

Or maybe we can just discuss as we finish a part. Who has already finished step 1?

How is the reading going? Any thoughts?

Does anyone have the Skinny Thinking Workbook? Perhaps we could follow start with answering the questions in the book. Anyone interested in leading this group???

I am going to download it to my Kindle. I'm in!! Is the workbook available on Kindle too? I'll check it out.

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

Just downloaded it

Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am in too.

Where did you find the workbook? That might be a good way to do it.

The workbook can be downloaded on Kindle...

Well I guess the book club didn't work. I finished the book and it has some food things and some things that didn't connect with me. I most liked the idea of taking our Ideas and beliefs "to inquiry" and asking if we know they are true or if the opposite could be true. I am not sure if her hard line on abstinence is the only way to go. I did think her idea that hunger is healthy in small doses is also a good one.
