|  | Anatomy of a Food Addiction by Anne Katherine
Drawing on her previous personal experience of overeating to compensate for the emotional turbulence in her life, the author illuminates the psychological and chemical components that may cause the compulsive eating disorder. Additionally, she shares the diet and exercise program that helped her establish healthy eating habits after years of abusing her body. She also offers advice on pinpointing psychological dynamics--including those that may emerge in dysfunctional families-- that often undermine ordinary weight-loss programs. AUTHOR: Anne Katherine
