The sub-title of this book says it all!  Many people continue going on in life blaming their diet, blaming their genes, or blaming their thyroid or metabolism imbalance for their overeating.  And, advertising, myths, propaganda and greed feed into this belief.   Granted, in many cases overweight certainly is a health issue, however, one area that isn’t addressed as much as it should be is “what is eating you?”

This is one area that Morrone in “Overcoming Overeating” addresses very thoroughly.  She goes straight into the psyche and encourages the reader to look within themselves and address why they are overeating.  But before this can be done, recognizing the issue and then acknowledging it are the most important.  Once one realizes that they have underlying emotional or psychological issues they can then take the steps to avoid masking them with food.

I give kudos to Lisa Morrone for stepping out and providing this much needed book.  The concise, but extremely educational, information and plan is exactly was may be in order for many of the readers struggling with weight gains due to overeating.  As an advocate of looking for underlying issues I highly recommend “Overcoming Overeating: It’s Not What You Eat, It’s What is Eating You!” to anyone that is willing to step outside the box and address issues on an emotional level.
