Woman, Food & God

I am not a strict religious person by any means.  I do have faith, but whether or not that faith is necessarily in a god, I'm still figuring that out and it may be a never ending quest.  However, I do have faith in life in general.  Faith in believing that my life would be okay no matter what got me through some of the toughest years of my life recently.  So, with that, I'll just briefly explain my post title.  I occasionally watch Oprah and I did happen to watch Monday's episode that featured a woman who had lost 175 pounds (without surgery of course since Oprah like NEVER has anyone with WLS on her show) and who ended up gaining it back and then lost 100 pounds of it again.  When she lost it the second time, her revelations where very interesting and they came from the help of a book called "Woman, Food and God" by Geneen Roth.   On Oprah's site there is an excerpt from the book that I just finished reading.  It really hit home for me in a lot of areas and I think would help some of us who have come to some self-revelations this week.  The excerpt really doesn't go into religion or god so much so please don't be scared by the title if religion doesn't happen to be a big part of your life.  Again, the excerpt was extremely enlightening for me and I am considering purchasing the book (maybe after I read, I'll do a sisterhood of the traveling book!).  There were parts in there that I've heard before, but Geneen has a way of really making you think differently about things and how our pasts, comparison of others, etc really affects us and the way we view ourselves not just with our weight, but in all aspects of life.  Anyways....I'll stop rambling and let those who want to read the excerpt (it's 4 pages so don't forget to scroll through) do so HERE.

Let me know what you guys think!  I really am considering purchasing the book and I think it would be interesting to do a Sisterhood with it and everyone could sign it before sending it along to the next person....what do you think?!
