Favorite books about eating, body image, and self acceptance?

[Sammybunny711]

Hi, everyone,

I thought it would be fun to share books that align with No S eating or are helpful for fixing a bad relationship with food. I ADORE Geneen Roth books. I'm currently reading her book, "When Food is Love" and oh man. It is hitting me HARD. I also love reading books about mindful eating. There are so many out there, but they have been super helpful to me. My favorite books about eating and body image are:

Favorites:

Breaking Free from Emotional Eating by Geneen Roth
Winning the Losing Battle by Erica L. Bartlett (a memoir about weight loss)
Mindful Eating by Jan Chozen Bays
The Appetite Awareness Workbook by Linda W. Craighead
Savor Every Bite by Lynn Rossy
Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston
Body Positive Power by Megan Jayne Crabbe

What are your favorites? I've read SO many things. I feel like I've been reading books about body image and eating for decades, haha. So I tried to only include things that work with No S or are very close to being able to work with No S.

I have quite a few body image food acceptance books. Mostly Intuitive eating books. I have read most/all? of Geneen Roths books. I love those! I have also read Eating in the Light of the Moon and found it super impactful.

Overcoming Overeating, by Jane R. Hirschmann , Carol H. Munter (THis was my favorite book that helped me the most several years ago)

When Women stop hating their bodies, by Jane R. Hirschmann , Carol H. Munter (This one is really good too)

The diet survivors handbook: 60 Lessons in Eating, Acceptance and Self Care by Judith Matz

Beyond Chocolate by Sophie Boss, Audrey Boss

A book that follows the No S way with only 3 meals and building habits is

Lean Habits by Georgie Fear. However, be warned: The first habits are about 3 meals, letting yourself get hungry for a certain time before meals, and eating just enough. After that its about plate composition so it can be triggering if you are trying to get off the diet train But, I found it helpful with the first 3 habits.

I just picked up "Overcoming Overating" and will look for When Women Stop Hating their Bodies! ALl of the ones you named sound good. I've read the Georgie Fear one, but it's been a long while.
