Summary: This book is a life-saver!
Comment: I just finished reading I Wish I Were Thin- I Wish I Were Fat! Thank God for Michelle Joy Levine! Her insight into the problems of why we overeat is truly a lesson in self-awareness. I feel as though I can begin to deal with my eating disorder in an informed, sensible way . I am grateful for Ms. Levine's ability to write in a most fluent manner. With her help,I look forward to my challenge with hope and excitement. I feel certain that everyone who reads this book will come away with the tools for self-help. Diane Fero

Summary: Not everything is about my mother....
Comment: I kept turning the pages looking for help in my addiction. But, every story written, or explaination given seemed to place the root of the blame on relationships with ones mother. I didn't find this to be a constructive way of looking at the problem, or finding a solution.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good, but certain chapters were way off the mark
Comment: I read the entire book in one day it was really interesting how almost all eating disorders are about control, even overeating. It breaks the stereotype that all overweight people are out of control and lazy. It shows how food just like any other substance can be abused in the quest to avoid dealing with emotional problems. My only complaint is how the author gets a little too Freudian in my opinion. Some of the chapters dealing with Oedopus complex are way off the mark and are a throwback to old school psychology. Needed more elaborate case studies with long term results instead of little paragraphs here and there.
