Whilst pondering around a few cute gift and book shops at the weekend, I was drawn to a book on the shelf of the Health & Wellbeing section in a wonderous book store!!
Having flicked through a couple of pages I was compelled to make the purchase...did so swiftly (as is my usual style) and pulled up a chair in a nearby tea room, ordered a cup of Orange Pekoe and scones with jam and cream which was served in antique fine china (heaven) and launched into 'Women Food and God' (as is my usual style). Just 3 days later I have read it from cover to cover and am going back for another read!! It is beautiful!
Essentially it shows how our relationship with food represents the way in which we live life 'No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all'. Although I have never had to deal with excessive weight gain, I have certainly spent years gorging on food and suffered appauling ill effects to my digestive system. Whether it's binge eating, over eating, weight gain, trying to kick the sugar habit, or your general relationship with what you munch on......this book is a real eye opener........because behind everything we do is the way we think and the way we feel!! I have been using the teachings from this book this week and it has already had an impact. I have eaten healthy nutritious food and not touched my usual daily coffee!!
Here is a reading from the book by the author herself.......lovely!!
Enjoy!!!
