Heal Your Relationship with Food: A Guide to Understanding Emotional Eating and Transforming Your Habits

You may have been struggling with your relationship with food for a short time—or for many
years.
Perhaps you often go hungry, or perhaps you frequently overeat. Maybe you make yourself
vomit.
Maybe you lost dozens of kilos and gained them back. Maybe you’re tired of being thin.
Maybe you’ve always had “five more kilos” to lose.
Maybe you even underwent a procedure in hopes of reaching the body you long for.
Maybe you sought help from a nutritionist, a therapist, or a physician.
Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling helpless and alone.
I wrote this book for those who want to heal.
For those at the beginning of adolescence, in young adulthood, or later in life—anyone who
wants to make peace with their relationship with food.
I can imagine how difficult this has been for you.
I wrote this as someone who once struggled deeply with food and her body,
as a young girl who found it incredibly hard,
as a woman who grew up understanding just how much this issue can complicate life,
and as a psychologist who wants to offer hope by sharing what she knows.
I want to speak directly to that part of you whispering that nothing will ever change,
that your relationship with food will never get better,
that you are a failure or not enough:
The very fact that you picked up this book and are reading it is proof that there is a part of you
that wants to heal.
There is a part of you that cares about yourself, that wants you to be well, and that still has
hope.
Yes—still.

Don’t forget that part of you.
