Beyond the Plate

Emotional eating is rarely about hunger, and that gap between what the body needs and what a person reaches for can be one of the most difficult things to examine. The writers in this volume have examined it — slowly, and not without difficulty — and what they share is harder to find than any diet plan.

Inside this volume

Fifty accounts describe the recognition of emotional eating patterns, the work of understanding what drove them, and the range of approaches people pursued: therapy, structured eating programs, mindfulness practices, and the long process of developing a different relationship with food and with difficult feeling. Writers are candid about relapse and about what eventually shifted.

Who it's for

For those who recognise emotional eating in themselves and are looking for company rather than instruction, for those supporting a partner or family member through this, and for anyone who wants to understand this experience from the inside.
