This book is one of the many I have read over the past year that take a much more zen approach to food. In particular, it has been wonderful for helping me reframe how I think about food choice and body image. I really appreciate how the author focuses on ENJOYING food instead of fearing it. I also appreciate her encouragement to skip the scale and focus on simply feeling comfortable in your clothes. I can't say that I've lost a lot of weight following the principles in this book, but I am certainly enjoying food a lot more, which was the higher goal for me.

I am a psychologist working at a college counseling center, and I have recommended this book to several of my clients who have experienced a relationship breakup. However, because the tone of this book is very lighthearted, almost irreverent, I've been selective in my recommendations. The authors, a husband and wife team who talk freely about their own past breakups infuse plenty of humor into their work.
