"Feed your real hunger; getting off the emotional treadmill that keeps you overweight."

• Do you think of food as your "drug of choice"?
• Do you feel as though you've battled food and weight your entire life?
• Do you eat "normally" in public, then gorge yourself when you're alone?
• Do you like to "cover up" in baggy clothes, and shy away from full-length mirrors?
• Do thoughts of food and weight occupy your mind more than you'd like?
• Do you constantly criticize yourself for eating too much, not exercising enough, or not being thinner?

If you answered "yes" to some or all of these questions, this book is a must-read! Jill K Thomas, certified hypnotherapist and weight-loss, and stress reduction expert, helps you uncover the whole, authentic self-hiding beneath all those food, weight, and body image issues. Guiding you along a once-in-a-lifetime journey both frightening and exhilarating, Jill gently encourages you to confront the self-defeating beliefs, stuffed-down emotions, and core fears that hold you trapped in the battle with food and fat. It's time to be free...it's time to be you!

"This gem of a book is packed with amazing useful information. I found the information not only useful, but written in a "user friendly" way. The layout is great. You are not only guided through the process of "weight loss" but empowerment.
It is so important that people when wanting/needing to loss weight get to the emotional component. This book offers an easy to understand way of doing this for the reader.
