Thanks for sharing this input Jane! It will now be added to the Book List so

that others can have that reference choice too. Such sharings are the power and

strength of this group - thanks for enriching us all.

" Lily " Hills' book " The Body Love Manual: How to Love the Body You

book is all about self-care, and learning to love ourselves enough to listen to

our bodies. The truly amazing thing is that something clicked inside me while

body in the mirror, I can HONESTLY say to myself, " I look lovely and feminine.

No wonder my husband is attracted to me. " In the past, I could only focus on

all the rolls and specific body parts to criticize and beat myself up over and

felt " less than " most other women. Now I am finding myself WANTING to take

better care of myself and live instead of punishing myself with too much food

and sitting locked up within a sedentary body! There is a small amount of New

Age philosophy, which I could have done without. But nothing like the amount

Geneen Roth puts in all of hers or the massive amount of feminist rhetoric in

" When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies. I highly recommend it. While I've gotten

some out of most of the books on the list I've read, the only other one I'd

highly recommend is " The Seven Secrets of Slim People, " which is very clear,

simple to follow, and very much action-oriented as opposed to just lecture.

PS - Did Geenen Roth ALSO write a book titled - When Women Stop Hating Their

Bodies? The only one I know of with that title was written by Jane R. Hirschmann

and Carol H. Munter who also wrote Overcoming Overeating. I suspect its only one

book since there was quite a bit of 'feminist' tone to what the latter two

authors wrote. But it wouldn't surprise me to hear that Ms. Roth could be in

that camp too. Just want to get and keep the Book List as useful as possible.

Thanks! Katcha

I guess I was confusing, but I was referring to Hirschmann and Munter's

book " When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies " - which has a lot of feminist

rhetoric - and then Geneen Roth's books in general, of which I've read

several, and all have a lot of New Age philosophy. While perhaps women

who lean towards feminism and/or New Age may be more open to " listening

to our bodies' wisdom, " we ALL have bodies and can benefit from a

non-diet IE approach, as evidenced by the " Thin Within " Christian

approach. I figure, take what I need and leave the rest, so I read

authors from all different persuasions.

The IE concept is getting more and more recognition from authorities, so it seems, in the magazines, the newspapers, and health sites on the internet. I think I need Dr. Drew at this point, or someone to tell me, "It's all right ... you're doing all right." :-) TaiTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 9:37 PMSubject: Re: Another Wonderful IE Book

Tai.. You are so right about " authorities " giving it more recognition.  I am on email from Oprah and she has had the IE approach on her show in the past it seems.  I missed it then but am reading about her recognition. Sandy
