Eating Disorder Self-help Book Mervin Strathman

This overeating self-help book is originally a journal kept about the very strange method developed to put an end to 30 years of binge eating. There's a lot more to it than this, but essentially, it was all the crazy things it told to repeatedly break best laid dietary plans. Not only by aggressively separating his constructive vs. destructive thoughts about food, this self-help book, as crude and primitive as it was, was also the only thing that gave me those extra microseconds at the moment of the impulse to wake up, remember who I was and what my higher goals were and make the right decision.

What the binge eating prevention guidebook contains is a series of word-for-word transcripts from actual coaching interviews... along with links to the blog post where you can HEAR the recording. It's a great way to get a sense of how this all works in practice after understanding it in principle. The diet industry really makes you feel like there is no hope and you might as well stay fat until you get up and try again and maybe lose all the weight only to regain it.
