Food: The Good Girl's Drug: How To Stop Using Food to Control Your Feelings

by SunnySeaGold (Author)

Synopsis

Sunny Sea Gold started fighting a binge eating disorder in her teens. But most books on the topic were aimed at older women, women she had a hard time relating to. Calling on top psychiatrists, nutritionists, and fitness experts, Sunny offers real advice to a new generation fighting an age-old war. With humor and compassion from someone who's seen it all, Food: The Good Girl's Drug is about experiences shared by many women-whether they've been struggling with compulsive overeating their whole lives, or have just admitted to themselves, that yes, it's more than just a bad habit.

Media Reviews
Praise for Food: the Good Girl's Drug

Sunny Sea Gold is one of the best and most compassionate educators about women's health issues out there. She is especially strong on the emotional underpinnings of health conditions such as eating disorders and obsessive thinking about body image that have deep roots in a gender context. --Naomi Wolf, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Beauty Myth, The End of America and Give Me Liberty

Filled with actionable tools, rich insight, and expert knowledge. --Johanna Kandel, Executive Director of The Alliance of Eating Disorders

Sharing deeply personal stories of hope and recovery from the prison of problematic relationships with food, eating and exercise, Sunny Gold and the brave women who with her offer their insights contribute to a comprehensive survey of the topic in a manner that is remarkably, if you will....easily digestible. --Dr. Drew Pinsky, M.D.
