An insightful book about compulsive eating and pain

Doreen virtue shows us in her lovely book "Losing Your Pounds of Pain", that there is a connection between emotional pain and overeating.
This book has been a gem in supporting me in overcoming my emotional issues that have kept me locked in a place where I never thought I could overcome my problems with food and weight.
There are lengthy chapters about sexual abuse, that do get a little detailed, but she also talks about the pain of this moment and other childhood issues that may cause you to over eat.
I really enjoyed the last several chapters that are solution oriented, and have helped me tremendously on my journey. I would highly recommend this book.

Disappointing and highly graphic and disturbing.

I had high expectations for this book, thinking that I'd find some interesting facts and research on overall emotional overeating, not just related to sexual abuse. Sadly, this book is heavily laden with disturbing and very graphic accounts of sexual molestation, incest and rape. I had a hard time reading through the disgusting experiences related in the book.
I feel nothing but sorrow to think that a human being could be subjected to such horrible acts and hope that those can be healed and live lives full of love and joy.
While it provides some useful ideas, such as excercise,affirmations and visualization to release the negative emotions, the book also lacked a comprehensive plan to help victims of sexual abuse deal effectively with their pain. Directly from her book:
"To uncover the unresolved pain, you usually need to recall some painful experiences from childhood and/or adolesce and determine who the perpetrator was. If you blamed yourself for any abuse that you suffered, then you need to remind yourself that, as a young person, you weren't responsible for the abusive or neglectful actions of others -even if you somehow felt responsible at the time."
Ms. Virtue advises people to seek professional help and get involved in psycotherapy. She also suggests a low fat diet, which is a pretty archaic advise and proven not very effective.
Unless you have had a similar experience as those related in this book, I don't think it would beneficial to you.

Great Resource for Overeaters

I really appreciate this book. I loved the caring tone and the way the author seemed to reach out and give the reader a hug! I think that so many of the stories and descriptions spoke to my heart about myself and friends that I found myself calling friends or emailing parts of the books so we could talk ideas! This is a gem! Thank you for writing it, Doreen.

Thank you, Doreen !

without giving too many details as it would be too personal, I consider this book a "gift from above"... : it helps people understand WHY they eat too much, and how to get your eating pattern back in control to lead a successful weight loss. Doreen gives plenty of tips, such as affirmations.There is no pretention in her book and it helps people who have been struggling with emotional overeating and who have been victims of abuse,whether the "facts" happened during their childhood or later in life. It's a powerful self-therapy book, highly recommended !

Cocoa and the Emerging Software Market
James Duncan Davidson: “The story of Cocoa isn’t, at least not yet, about IT development where you can get a job in a big company. And it’s not yet about getting a job at a software house where the big applications are developed... Instead, the story of Cocoa is about the small software shop where people are busting out incredible software with small teams.”

Where Apple Doesn’t Always Play Nice
BusinessWeek: “Some small developers are crying foul. They’re accusing Apple of freely copying third-party programmers’ innovations into its own software. ‘Apple should work with independent developers, rather than taking everything in the house,’ Rob McNair-Huff, publisher of the popular Mac Net Journal Web site, wrote recently.”
