Reader Notes to Geneen
Thank you Geneen.... I have read two of your books over and over again, Feeding the Hungry Heart and When Food is Love. I never ever read anything that I felt so totaly related to. I am only 5 ft 1 and weigh about 96 lbs, have been same for many many years. But there was a horrible time from about 16 on to about late twenties where I was bulimic. Even though I am not anymore, your words of honesty and wisdom reach a place in me. Like a messege in a bottle. Your words are the truth and there is a part of me that has been validated and understood by reading your books. That has meant a lot to me. Thank you.

BOOK REVIEW - May 29, 2007, by Coming True Reviews "When you Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair"
The fact that essayist Anne Lamott wrote the forward to Geneen Roth's book was a selling point for me. But in truth, I needed no 'sales job' because I also love Geneen Roth's books. Start with the title, "When you Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair."

Already the humor is obvious. But go to the words just below it, and you see more of where she's coming from: "50 Ways to Feel Thin, Gorgeous, and Happy (When You Feel Anything But)."

This book is a series of short essays perfect for dipping into for a little inspiration each day. Roth encourages women to follow their intuition - not strict diets - when it comes to finding their best body shape. She does it with such humor and Zen wisdom it's hard to resist.

Take her chapter called "Wear Red," for instance. She says, "feeling fat has very little to do with last night's bread pudding, and everything to do with what meditation teacher Stephen Levine calls 'the top-fifty hit parade' of old beliefs. Beliefs about the connection between fat and self-worth, between the size of our bodies and what we are allowed to do or say or be." Although supposedly this book is all about our connection with food and our bodies, it's really about our connection with our lives. It's about how we can be more present and live more vitally, whether eating a strawberry... or reading these words!

BOOK REVIEW - June/July 2007 Coming True Reviews: Bite by Bite: Seven Guidelines to Break Free from Emotional Eating
Transforming one's relationship with food is the core of this heartfelt lesson by an eating expert. Having lost and gained over a thousand pounds prior to her enlightenment, she knows the wrong ways to lose weight and the types of self-loathing that can cause eating problems. Listen to what your body really wants to create helpful eating contexts, she says, and put all parts of your life in alignment. Instead of dieting to gain the life you deserve, love yourself now, and your weight will settle where it needs to be. Roth's tender voice expresses a credibility that comes from her own emotional journey. Offering specific guidelines for emotionally healthy eating, she sounds genuine even when her words border on the melodramatic. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]

INTERVIEW - When Food is Food & Love is Love - Sounds True Interview
If you're thinking about what your body wants, it's really what your mind wants. The mind has no conception of what is going to feel good in the body. The mind is acting on the past or the future, it is not in the present. Your body is in the present. If you listen to what your body wants rather than what your mind wants, then your body will get very good at telling you what it wants. And, of course, what your body wants is to feel good. Your body wants not only to survive, but to thrive--to be active, alive, energetic, and to be able to serve you. If you're eating what your mind wants, it is usually at cross purposes from what your body wants.

THANKS - From a reader
I am writing to thank you for an article you wrote that it was not a good idea to watch TV or read a book while eating since you wouldn't be able to hear the voice inside your head that tells you, "I'm full." I thought about that and realized that I had NEVER heard that voice in my life. The reason I stopped eating was because I told myself, "oh your eating too many calories, or you'd better stop your eating too much, or you can't have that its bad for you..blah blah blah!" I have gained and lost the same 40lbs my whole life on a variety of diets, consider myself to be a very healthy eater (healthy food choices) yet I continued to gain the weight back again and again. This was after losing it on some diet. I gained it back all within 6 months. You know the definition of insanity, keep doing the same thing expecting different results! Well, from the day that I read the article, I decided that I was going to eat what I wanted, to continually listen throughout the meal for my voice letting me know when I was full. And to never eat unless I was hungry. Well, Im 8 lbs lighter and I feel satisfied, never hungry, and feel like for the first time in my life I finally got it. I am so excited because I will NEVER have to go on a diet again. So...THANK YOU! Something that had been so complicated my entire life has become the easiest thing I have ever done. - Paula Gibbins
