When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Women Food and God, an empathetic and empowering guide to loving ourselves—no matter our size.

Foreword by Anne Lamott

Geneen Roth's pioneering books were among the first to link emotional eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal issues that go far beyond weight and body image. In When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair, Roth tackles the secret ways in which we undermine our best intentions. She shows us fifty simple, effective ways to feel gorgeous and powerful no matter what—in chapters such as:

• Learn to Recognize a Fat-and-Ugly Attack
• Retail Therapy Is as Important as the Other Kind
• Carry a Chunk of Chocolate Everywhere
• Remember that Thin People Have Cellulite, Get Old, and Die
• and much more

When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair is the book for anyone who has ever had a second thought about their body appearance or weight.
