Book Overview
This is a warm and compassionate guide to understanding the emotions that underlie eating problems: shame, anger, guilt, sexual difficulties, and the fear of success. Clearly written for people concerned about food and weight issues, it is intended to help readers see food as their friend and nourisher, not their enemy. French Toast For Breakfast is filled with practical exercises, dialogues from actual therapy sessions, straight-forward answers to common questions, an in-depth comparison of treatment options, and a look at relapse - how to prevent it and what to do if it occurs. It also includes a unique questionnaire to help readers determine which path to peace is best for them.

An excellent workbook for getting a healthy outlook on food
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a wonderful book about not just eating disorders but the pressures society puts on women (and men) to look a certain way and how no one can ever really attain that social "perfection". I had an eating disorder for several years and this book has helped me overcome many of my own demons. It is not a "quick fix" by any means but it makes you really take a look at why you have certain unhealthy behaviors when it comes to food & what you yourself can do to get to the root of the problem. I highly recommend this book for women, as we seem to have the most societal pressures to be thin. It will make you look at yourself & eating in a new light. Thank you Mary Anne Cohen.
Thank's

Best Book on Eating Disorders I Ever Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have done extensive reading of books in the field of eating disorders and I have never read one as good as this one. Ms. Cohen's writing style is clarity itself. She helps you to tailor make a solution for your own particular eating problem. She does not preach a single, magic solution that will automatically work for everyone. "Each person's eating disorder is as unique as a fingerprint," she says at one point. She is compassionate and recounts marvellous stories from her extensive experience in the field of eating disorders to help readers gain insights into their own individual problem. She helps you become friends with food rather than treating food as the enemy. I give the highest recommendation to this book.

Tostadas me enseñó que lo que me pasa es que estoy enferma. Soy bulímica. Ahora sé que no estoy sola ante el problema y que puedo hacer cosas para ayudarme a salir de el. No lo he conseguido al 100 por 100 pero estoy en ello, y cáda vez que lo necesito "tostadas" es mi herramienta. Lo leo y releo cada vez que lo necesito y cogo fuerzas al identificarme con cási todas las personas que salen en el libro; incluída la autora: Mary Anne. Mary Anne, si lees esto, quiero que sepas que me encantaría charlar contigo a través del correo electrónico. Gracias por todo.
