\"\"<\/a>Perhaps you saw Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food and God<\/em>, on the Oprah Show. If you didn’t and you’re someone who has ever dieted or battled with their weight, then please,\u00a0do your body, mind and soul a favor and track down the\u00a0already-aired episode\u00a0online.<\/p>\n

Roth’s appearance and more notably, her message to women and men, has already created a small movement as women all over the country are waking up this morning,\u00a0thinking just a bit more\u00a0thoughtfully about why they are reaching for a second blueberry muffin or polishing off their kid’s unfinished mac & cheese.<\/p>\n

In reference to Women, Food and God <\/em>and <\/em>from the\u00a0words of Oprah herself, whose own battle with her weight has created\u00a0as much\u00a0media awareness\u00a0as global warming, “This book is an opportunity to finally end the war with weight and unlock the door to freedom.”<\/p>\n

Oprah, along with Roth, is\u00a0challenging women (and men) to spend the next 60 days incorporating the sage, insightful and sometimes difficult practices\u00a0of\u00a0Women, Food and God <\/em>into every meal they eat, every snack they covet\u00a0and every fourth helping they\u00a0spoon onto their plates.<\/p>\n

Geneen says she was a crash dieter herself for many years, gaining and losing more than 1,000 pounds, but after finding herself on the brink of suicide, she had a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

“First of all, not dieting. Dieting leads to self-hatred and self-loathing, making you feel crazy about yourself,” she says.”The other breakthrough is that your relationship with food, rather than being the curse, and rather than being the thing that you want to get rid of, is, itself, the doorway to the life you most want.”<\/p>\n

Oprah’s website has dedicated an entire section to helping women end their obsession with food and the concepts of Women, Food and God <\/em>provide the structure and guidelines to support you\u00a0walk through\u00a0the doorway to\u00a0liberation. Included on Oprah.com\u00a0are food confessions from women, seven basic eating principles, exercises that help you understand why you are eating, and a quiz that determines whether you\u00a0have a permitter\u00a0or restrictor eating style.\u00a0In addition, excerpts from the book,\u00a0Oprah’s own\u00a0revealations\u00a0about her weight, an opportunity to ask Roth your own questions and countless other valuable tools are available and ready for you to take\u00a0the first steps in your own food healing journey\u00a0so that you can finally know who you are.<\/p>\n

We’ll check back\u00a0 with you in 60 days, but in the meantime, post your comments on DietsInReview.com, read the book and utilize the help that is available on Oprah.com. You won’t regret it.<\/p>\n
