Editorial Reviews:

Why is one cookie never enough? Why does a bad day at the office seem to scream for a quart of rocky road? If you think the answer is a lack of self-control, you might be misunderstanding the reasons behind overeating.

Trust Weight Watchers, the leading name in safe and sensible weight control, to address food issues that go beyond what to eat. If cutting calories or regular exercise hasn't been enough, the next step is understanding why you overeat. Stop Stuffing Yourself contains the latest information on the hottest topic in weight control, emotional overeating. Full of hands-on advice and reassuring coping techniques for winning the battle with food, Stop Stuffing Yourself covers issues ranging from stress and anger to boredom and loneliness, explaining how anyone can identify the causes of overeating and succeed at losing weight.

Real-life stories of trial and triumph color each chapter, providing motivation, support and encouragement to anyone who ever thought she was alone in her struggle with food. Stop Stuffing Yourself is the must-have book for chronic dieters, the food-obsessed, and anybody who's ready to gain control over food and lose weight.

Summary: A great and helpful read!
Comment: I thought this was a great book! It really helped me to recognize my food triggers and examine the reasons behind why I overeat. I have defintley used this book to eat less, because I have been able to keep myself from eating out of boredom or other emotions from the tips and tools in this book. I would highly recommend it!

Summary: Light on technique and obnoxiously worded ...
Comment: This book does have value, but it has extremely serious flaws.

As others have pointed out, the book is heavy on explanatory material and inspirational biographies and light on technique. Additionally, its spacious graphic design and large font seem to have been chosen to make fewer words fill more pages.

Significantly, this book was OBNOXIOUSLY gynocentric in its word choices. Not only was there not one single male pronoun in the book, there were very few entirely gender-neutral sentences (even references to "someone" were quickly followed up with "she", etc.). It was, "a woman feels", "she may", etc. As a man reading the text, this had the effect of constantly distancing me from the advice being given. Yet I think female readers might equally find insult in the book's similar assumption that its female readers are exclusively straight and exclusively married -- with no references to boyfriends or partners, only to husbands and children. If the concept of emotional eating were not so (relatively) new, I would have suspected the text to have been imported whole from the 1950s.

I also cannot help but laugh at the irony of what a poor choice of titles this is. For people who are dealing with loneliness, self-blame, and anger, asking them to carry around a book whose cover features, in extremely large letters, the words "STOP STUFFING YOURSELF!" can only be an exercise in cruelty, if unintentional cruelty.

I will not say this book was useless (which is why I won't give it a single star) — it did contain some phrases, concepts, and techniques I found useful, but nowhere near enough in number to justify anything more than a handout. I imagine emotional eating must be covered much more adroitly in other texts, and I urge you to investigate them and not this.

Summary: Very insightful especially if you are doing Weight Watchers.
Comment: If you are on the WeightWatchers diet get this book. it is insightful and it gives you alternate alternatives.

Summary: Eye Opener
Comment: This book was a real eye opener for me. I had no idea about some of the topics discussed in most of these chapters. No diet or lifestyle change works over night, and I think that this book helps explain that in the simplest way.

Customer Rating:

Summary: OK, for what it is.
Comment: This is the same stuff one finds in the women's magazines at the checkouts or maybe this is where they may have got some of their articles. The "why do you eat" quiz was my favourite part of the book & helpful. I have lent this to other friends & they liked it as well. Evidentlty they don't buy women's magazine . All in all a so-so addition to my library.
