When food is love

exploring the relationship between eating and intimacy

Author: Geneen Roth
ISBN: 9780525249672

Hunger is among the most powerful forces in our lives. Physical hunger and emotional hunger alike play key roles in our survival; if we ignore either one, we starve. But too many people try to substitute one for the other, with disatrous results. Roth probes the motivations behind binging and obsessive dieting and shows why weight loss sometimes uncovers a different set of problems.
