Finally--a book that speaks beyond the stereotype of eating
disorders as the 'little girl's disease, ' reaching out to women
who have lived with these devastating disorders for years, and
offering practical, sound, and insightful advice on how to begin,
and sustain, real recovery. Marya Hornbacher, author of Wasted: A
Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia-- "Reviews"
Joanna Poppink's Healing Your Hungry Heart answers two questions I
frequently hear from troubled eaters: How do I begin my recovery
and what can I do to sustain it? Her chapter on the warning signs
of an eating disorder is especially helpful to those who aren't
sure if their relationship with food is unhealthy or not. Other
chapters gently guide the reader in an exploration of what is
needed to recover from deregulated eating--mindfulness,
selfreflection and honesty, bona fide emotional nourishment, and
daily practices for skill acquisition and moving toward true
fulfillment. I would certainly recommend this book to my clients
and students. -Karen R. Koenig, LCSW, M.Ed., author of The Food and
Feelings Workbook and Nice Girls Finish Fat-- "Reviews"
This book offers a variety of valuable tools and practical ways for
those with eating disorders to nourish both their bodies and their
spirits. It also offers real solutions and hope for its readers.
