Katherine clearly explains the chemical reactions in the brain that work in conjunction with lifelong emotional conflicts to make food - particularly sugar and carbohydrates-such a comfort that it's almost like a drug. Includes self-tests, exercises, an examination of family issues and priorities, and a complete recovery program for newfound understanding and confidence.

For readers who are strongly addicted to particular foods as well as those who simply feel susceptible.
