There are many ways to reduce ones weight. However, the foundational causes of out-of–control eating need to be dealt with by focusing on Skills and Concepts of dealing with the inside rather than the outside of the body. Binge eating, obesity, overweight, compulsive overeating are all terms which describe a syndrome that serves as an antidote to self-hate, guilt, stress, anxiety, boredom, depression, anger, and so on.

Excerpt
Eating is the first ongoing interaction in our relationship with another human being. Whether we are breast or bottle feed, we all have another human being who must deal with our need for nourishment from the very start. So eating is about need, nourishment, pleasure, feelings, but most of all is about our relationship with other human beings. More precisely it is about how we respond to our feelings about our relationship with other human beings.
The Real Solution Binge/Compulsive Eating Workbook Revised Edition is the result of over twenty years of conversation with extraordinary people. Under the outward roles as therapist and patient, in order to first make human connection, many individuals have inspired the updating of this workbook.
