WOMEN, FOOD AND GOD: AN UNEXPECTED PATH TO ALMOST EVERYTHING
Book ID/图书代码： 12844010B35618
English Summary/英文概要： No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all
If you suffer about your relationship with food -- you eat too much or too little, think about what you will eat constantly or try not to think about it at all -- you can be free. Just look down at your plate. The answers are there. Don’t run. Look. Because when we welcome what we most want to avoid, we contact the part of ourselves that is fresh and alive. We touch the life we truly want and evoke divinity itself.
Since adolescence, Geneen Roth has gained and lost more than a thousand pounds. She has been dangerously overweight and dangerously underweight. She has been plagued by feelings of shame and self-hatred and she has felt euphoric after losing a quick few pounds on a fad diet. Then one day, on the verge of suicide, she did something radical: She dropped the struggle, ended the war, stopped trying to fix, deprive and shame herself. She began trusting her body and questioning her beliefs.
It worked. And losing weight was only the beginning.
She wrote about her discoveries in When Food Is Love, her first New York Times bestseller. She gave huge numbers of women their first insights into compulsive eating and she changed huge numbers of lives for the better.
Now, after more than three decades of studying, teaching and writing about what drives our compul-sions with food, Geneen adds a profound new dimension to her work in Women, Food and God. She begins with her most basic concept: The way you eat is inseparable from your core beliefs about being alive. Your relationship with food is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation and, yes, even God. But it doesn’t stop there. Geneen shows how going beyond both the food and feelings takes you deeper into realms of spirit and soul to the bright center of your own life.
With penetrating insight and irreverent humor, Roth traces food compulsions from subtle beginnings to unexpected ends. She teaches personal examination, showing readers how to use their relationship with food to discover the fulfillment they long for.
Your relationship with food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom, says Roth. What you most want to get rid of is itself the doorway to what you want most: the demystification of weight loss and the luminous presence that so many of us call "God."
Packed with revelations on every page, this book is a knock-your-socks-off ride to a deeply fulfilling relationship with food, your body...and almost everything else. Women, Food and God is, quite simply, a guide for life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 飢餓是一種直接、又健康的感覺,它是身體發出的訊息,所以每個人應該特別注意飢餓的生理反應,找出自己的飢餓模式，不但要填滿你的胃,也要餵飽你的心。沮喪時候絕不能用食物來滿足某種情感,當你吃掉盤中的一切,仍然無法消除吃不飽的恐懼心理。
而現今在媒體的「減肥」、「塑身」論調的推波助瀾下，許多人進食習慣變得盲目與失調。美國飲食專家Geneen Roth認為,每個人都應該傾聽身體發出的訊息,善待自己,飲食得法,才能吃出最美麗的自己;而讀者在遵循書中闡述的進食原則與健康觀念之後，都能拋開卡路里與體重計的惡夢，開創健康、美麗的新生活。(CL)
