I just ordered a book from Amazon called The Food and Feelings Workbook: A Full Course Meal on Emotional Health by

Karen R. Koenig. It was published in Jan 2007, so it's pretty current. After I read it I will post on it's usefullness. I wondered if anyone else had tried any books or workbooks to help deal with "head hunger" and emotional eating triggers? Being "full" physically won't stop me from wanting food to feel better (better=comfort) but if I don't get that monkey off my back, I may as well not even get a lap band. :frusty: (Yup, I'm pre-band stage.) Any words of wisdom or suggestions for further reading?

Thanks

I used one called BINGE! years ago and tried some of the exercises. I can't say it worked long-term but I didn't put the effort in.

I have some exercises from my band psychologist. I'm only just starting to try them however.

Please let me know if the book's any good.

Holly that sounds really good. Yes please keep us posted and let us know if you like it.
