Summary: I couldn't agree with you more, ()
Review: () Forget MJ, forget coke, forget crack, forget even ALCOHOL AND CIG'S, the most overused and overABUSED substance in the country (perhaps even the WORLD) is FOOD....More often than not,food is exploited as a drug if you really think about it.It is NOT meant to substitute emotion or love, and it is MOST CERTAINLY not designated as some wonder drug that gives you an instant "high"...Food is meant as fuel to a person as gas is to a vehicle. This is something the book has allowed me to realize. It has also helped me realized that we have been conditioned most our lives by society to signify/express our emotions even social habits via food and that's one nasty habit....I have now broken free from the cycle of emotional eating thanks to this book...And know that if ever I "crave" a certain food, it's really an EMOTION INSIDE OF ME that needs "feeding". And that yes it IS possible to outlet your emotions WITHOUT having to resort to eating your way out of your bad feelings. Life is WAY too short to spend time thinking about what you're HUNGRY FOR. These are things that the book has opened my mind to discover....And if you too accept the book's offerings with an open mind, it could very well benefit you as it has myself.

Summary: I'm craving a more helpful book
Review: If I want a 3 Musketeers bar, repeating the affirmation "I enjoy this moment now" is not going to help me. I won't enjoy the moment until I have a 3 Musketeers bar! How about telling me an alternate, healthy food I can eat that nullifies whatever internal chemical reaction causes the craving? Don't buy this book if that's the information you're looking for.

Summary: I'm "CRAVING" to buy this book!
Review: If the San Diego reader IS NOT able to "enjoy the moment" without the aid of FOOD, then this book is ESPECIALLY for that person...I haven't even bought the book yet and already I am relating what Ms. Virtue is trying to convey...I heard about her and her book from a magazine article she wrote in "Woman's Own" magazine, much of the article was excerpts from the book. I am SO amazed of how ACCURATE she is with specific food cravings and it's emotional connection! I look back and see that whenever I DID crave a certain food like FUDGE, CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM or even BREAD AND BUTTER that deep down I really DID feel the feelings she writes about! I never paid attention to it before since I thought craving a particular food had nothing to do with how I felt. I always knew there was some connection between food and emotion and how it can sometimes influence HOW you eat, but never knew that it had any INFLUENCE on WHAT YOU EAT! I mean, this is DEEP STUFF. Now I will think twice before indulging in BROWNIES...This book teaches you to KNOW what is triggering the craving so it can be stopped at the source and no longer try to "shut up" how you feel by stuffing the discomfort with food. This book tries to teach you to NOT be like that San Diego reader by using FOOD AS A CRUTCH. I have given the book a neutral rating as I do not HAVE it *DUH* but I know as sure as hell that I WILL BUY IT!
