"Losing Your Pounds of Pain Breaking the Link Between Abuse, Stress, and Overeating" isn't the best title for this book. In fact, the description on the back reading, "...wonderful book that will truly help you break the damaging connection between emotional pain and overeating..." isn't really accurate either. The truth is that too much of the content focuses on sexual abuse. There's paragraph after paragraph about various folks being abused. I hadn't interpreted the title in that way and thought that my stress = overeating cycle would be addressed more completely.There is one page of affirmations and a short section that correlates some common foods to their associated emotional/personality traits, which was helpful. Other than that I was thoroughly disappointed.
