Book Review: Eating my feelings (2013)




Book Review: Eating my feelings (2013) by Mark Rosenberg

My summary: 
My interest in this book stemmed from seeing clients presenting with emotional eating issues. I got this book from netgallery. But as soon as I started in Chapter 1, I realised it wasn't the book I was expecting. The book itself is very much written in a conversation style, and as I read the book, it was almost as if Mark was sitting in front of me, telling me his story. It's a very raw, uncensored view of his life. When clients come in to tell me their life story, rarely am I exposed to this kind of language and detail. But till all helped to explain how Mark struggled with his weight including going to fat camp, dieting, taking laxatives, doing drugs, dealing with his sexuality, interest in sex.
