This cognitively-based workbook is based on the highly successful practice of appetite monitoring, rather than traditional food monitoring. Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) has been shown to help both bulimics and binge eaters regain normal eating patterns by tracking their habits and slowly making adjustments until hunger and satisfaction--rather than out-of-control emotions--govern when and how they eat. Using six specific interventions, it teaches readers how to tackle one eating decision at a time by learning how to "eat from within" rather than using ineffective willpower strategies.

Discover this comfortable and natural way to:

• Recognize your real appetite signals
• Prevent binges with anti-deprivation eating
• Practice effective emotional eating
• Become aware of what you eat and how eating feels
• Coach yourself to maintain “eating from within” for life
