Bite by Bite

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
