THE CONSTANT DIETER: A Philosopher's Guide to Conquering Chronic and Compulsive Overeating,
author Caroline Wiseblood Meline shares her 25-year history of disordered eating, as well as her process of overcoming the disorder permanently. Combining self-help, memoir, academic philosophy, and psychology, this unique book helps readers address four major obstacles to conquering chronic and compulsive overeating: not understanding the constraints on their will, not living in their creative true self, unconsciously working against their own aims, and not dieting realistically. To remedy these lacks, THE CONSTANT DIETER provides an inspiring intellectual journey and a radically sane eating program, which, together, lead to long-term, desired change.
If readers approach eating in conjunction with exploring their own philosophical, psychological, and creative possibilities, they can unblock their hidden ambivalence toward success and find the space inside them for authentic expressive power. They can uncover their true selves. Conquering their overeating is only the beginning of what they can achieve.
