Are you tired of dieting? Weary of counting calories and fat grams? Sick of working out when your body tells you it wants to rest? Weight Wisdom can help you change your relationship with food and learn to love your body.

Through their years of experience as therapists, Kathleen Burns Kingsbury and Mary Ellen Williams have treated hundreds of people with eating disorders. Now they have compiled a unique collection of anecdotes and affirmations to help readers free themselves from food and body concerns. Whether you are just beginning to change your behavior, or have already been working to alter disordered eating, Weight Wisdom can help. Organized into three sections - for those starting the journey, on their way, or already successful - the authors offer inspirational reminders that have helped their clients and will help you.

Here is what professionals in the field had to say about Weight Wisdom:
"Weight Wisdom is a valuable and much-needed addition to the literature for those suffering from eating disorders. Few books provide as many useful tools, while also respecting the depth, range, and severity of eating disorders. Weight Wisdom gives practical solutions and guidance for managing the daily challenges of recovery and is full of helpful metaphors and positive cognitive techniques. Weight Wisdom will definitely be at the top of my list of recommendations to my patients."
Margo Maine, Ph.D., Author

Father Hunger: Fathers, Daughters, and Food

"Kingsbury and Williams have collected wise words to help those touched by eating disorders to map a route to recovery by demystifying the false beliefs that perpetuate them and offering "helpful hints" to replace unhealthy behavior patterns and hasten the journey to recovery-an excellent book for the newly diagnosed, their family members, and the clinicians who treat them."
Mary S. Pabst, LCSW-C, Past President
National Eating Disorders Association

"Weight Wisdom is a lighthearted road map to a difficult subject. Kingsbury and Williams have created a must-read for the tourist of food and body concerns within us all!"
Beth Mayer, LICSW, Executive Director,
Massachusetts Eating Disorders Association
