Your Child's Weight: Helping without Harming [Paperback] Review

I stumbled on this book while searching for family meal plans.What a revelation.We have one child who we have worried over for years regarding her eating habits and high weight.My husband actually picked up this book and read it cover to cover and, uncharacteristically, led the way in a radical change about how we think about meals and food in our household.This book is full of common sense for families who may be struggling with a child's weight problem.The basic idea is so ZEN--stop controlling, stop struggling, stop worrying and you change the very nature of the problem.Now we're no longer trapped in the double standard of telling one kid to stop eating and the other to finish her food.We're seeing our picky 3 year old actually grab a carrot on his own!!My overeater pushes back from the table when she's full and doesn't crouch over her plate like a famished animal.My middle child is learning to sit in her chair and enjoy the food that is available instead of asking for alternate meals.My husband and I actually have time to catch up with the kids. And I have been able to look at my own eating patterns (and their origins) in a new way.This is a profoundly wise book and I'm so grateful to have discovered it.

Product Description:
As much about parenting as feeding, this latest release from renowned childhood feeding expert Ellyn Satter considers the overweight child issue in a new way. Combining scientific research with inspiring anecdotes from her decades of clinical practice, Satter challenges the conventional belief that parents must get overweight children to eat less and exercise more. In the long run, she says, making them go hungry and forcing them to be active makes children preoccupied with food, prone to overeating, turned off to activity, and likely to gain too much weight. Trust is a central theme here: children must be able to trust parents to provide as much food as they need to satisfy their appetites; parents must trust children to eat only as much as they need. Satter provides compelling evidence that, if parents do their jobs with respect to feeding, children are remarkably capable of knowing how much to eat.

Binge Breaker!(TM): Stop Out-of-Control Eating and Lose Weight (Paperback) Review

I have read several books on the subject, searching for a way to break free of this. The problem is that many books adopt one of two approaches: either one designed for bulimics, which I am not, or a view that food is an addiction and certain foods must be avoided for life.
This book takes a sensible and, most importantly, very doable approach - it doesn't ask you to monitor in written form, which can be quite a chore, but rather works on making you aware of your eating style and then overhauling it. Gradually, eating is normalized and the former binge foods are introduced - without leading to binges for me!! - so that your relationship with food slowly gravitates towards being "normal".
All in all, a great read, the one book that changed my life!

Product Description:
Binge eating, eating more food than feels comfortable, is a problem for more than half of all overweight Americans.

Miller reveals the proven six-step program that has already helped thousands of dieters conquer binge eating and lose weight permanently. Readers will discover:
-- The psychological and biological reasons for binging
-- Ways to eliminate the "all-or-nothing" syndrome
-- How to eat "forbidden" foods in moderation
-- Breakthrough techniques of "mindfulness" -- the key to overcoming binge eating permanently
-- Behavior strategies, eating plans, and a moderate exercise program

Slim Forever - For Women: Subliminal Self-Help [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio CD] Review

I was encouraged by the other reviews of this CD that I read here and thought I'd give it a shot.I was skeptical that just listening to a CD could actually work on my subconscious mind and help me to eat better and less, but I wanted to be surprised and proven wrong.

I listened to the CD almost every night at bedtime for four weeks, and aside from disturbing my sleep for the first few nights, I noticed no effect whatsoever, much less on my eating habits.Maybe the problem was that the messages weren't really tailored to my personal food issues - these messages mention specific food-related things a couple of times, but they're primarily more related to generic self-esteem issues.I did like that there was enough complexity to the text that I didn't find myself reciting it half a beat ahead of the script, but the messages are still consistent.

Track 1 is an introduction to the CD with publisher information and stuff that you might find in the foreword of a book.Track 2 is a deep-breathing relaxation exercise (which I found to go too fast to allow me to actually take deep breaths, but I have big lungs).Track 3 begins the main text, and I think tracks 4 and maybe 5 are set at points within the audible text.The second half of the CD (tracks maybe 5 and 6) is pleasant enough music (though largely unremarkable) with a sort of breaking wave sound underneath.I'm assuming that's where they somehow mask the messages, though I couldn't distinguish any speech consciously.The entire thing is about an hour long.I don't know what the whole "abridged" notation is about in the item description, as the length seems comparable to the cassette version.

So, it's probably not going to hurt you to listen to this CD, but there's nothing to say that it will definitely help, either.For the price, it might be worth a shot, and buying it used makes it even more worthwhile to at least try.I'll stick with trying to get back on my formal healthy eating plan and keep going to Curves, though.
