This is how Geneen Roth remembers her time as an emotional overeater and self-starver. After years of struggle, Roth finally broke free from the destructive cycle of bingeing and purging. In the two decades since her triumph, she has gone on to help tens of thousands of others do the same through her lectures, workshops, and retreats. Those she has met during this time have shared stories that are both heartrending and inspiring, which Roth has gathered for this unique book.

An interesting read....very short. I read this in one day.
I enjoyed the stories but I wish there had been more information on HOW to overcome the compulsion, rather than stories of others who share the compulsion to eat. I couldn't identify with many of the anecdotes simply because they seemed dated.
Overall, the message is a good one..just wasn't "meaty" enough for me.
