Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Hazelden Meditations)

I bought this book because it was recommended by a trusted friend. I've struggled with weight issues for sixteen years now and although I had done well for the first six months of this year, having some meditations to help address my subconscious problems appealed to me. What I've found in Food For Thought is not so much any meditations, but daily messages that are very uplifting. They appealed to me in many different ways, and also made me feel as though I am not alone in my struggles.The book is actually the OA manual for success which may or may not be a problem for some people. My personal problem is more medically based then it is an actual overeating issue. Either way, the fact that these words cut right to the heart of the weight causes and "cures" is beneficial. My only criticism is that instead of having each message dated from January 1st to December 31st is that it should have simply been left out or replaced with Day One and so forth. I'm hopeful that anyone who needs some help in getting themselves on track will get a lot from this book. Jim Fargiano, author of  The Spoken Words of Spirit: Lessons From The Other Side

This has been an unexpectedly VITAL part of my daily recovery from food addiction, THIS and BrightLineEating!!! It’s be come a necessity in my life ♥️So much wisdom, gentle guidance, honesty and healing in these pages!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Recommendation!

Although I respect all 12 step programs, I do not belong to any of the groups. However, I still find this book extremely satisfying and helpful in my own weight loss journey. I believe in a higher power, so I don’t have a problem with those parts of the book. I believe that maintaining my program is a tough road that I’m always thinking about, and I probably always will. So this book with its daily reminders works for me!

This book has 365 short meditations to help with the OA journey. Instead of using it once a day, I have been reading one of the meditations whenever I am tempted to eat outside my scheduled eating times. It is helping a lot.Some daily readers don't have a table of contents but this book does and it is very helpful for finding what I need at that particular time.I would recommend this to anyone with an eating disorder.

This book has been so helpful, along with  Letting Go of Compulsive Eating: Twelve Step Recovery from Compulsive Eating - Daily Meditations . Both of these give me something to think about and reflect on throughout my day and lead me towards better choices. I've had more success from doing daily readings out of these books than I have ever had before. Food for Thought is also a small, convenient size to take with you if you leave town or just want to have something in an emergency situation! It's small enough to fit in move average sized purses without taking the whole thing up.

I like to get in a quiet spot and read it brings me peace

I use this book almost everyday, some days I forget. Everyday there is something to remind me of why I am on this journey of learning how to live a new lifestyle.

This is a daily "booster" to encourage me and help me through good days and difficult days. Let the thoughts in this encourage you in your daily walk, too! A+++++

Have read this book each evening and will now start again each morning.Great guidance following the 12 step program.

This book is a "must" for overeaters who want to achieve a lifelong Abstinence and Recovery, for those who really have the desire to stop overeating for good !
