Just curious if anyone here has read this book? I'm reading it now, and finding it very interesting. I never would have thought that a messy house and overeating would have anything to do with each other (and I'm sure that sometimes they don't), but for me, I can now see how a lot of things might tie in.
For me, I think maybe I was dealing with overall pattern of "neglect." I never thought of it that way before, but I was letting junk just sit around my apartment for no reason - it was just easier to leave a broken TV sitting in the same spot on the floor for two years than to get rid of it; it's easier to leave piles of papers, catalogs, etc. on the table than to put them away, etc. So I neglected my home, and I certainly neglected myself, letting myself get to this point. It was easier to eat than to be bored or hungry...and probably it was easier to have being overweight as an excuse for various issues too.
In the month or so that I've been trying to lose, I've also felt an urge to clean up and fix up my apartment, and I've started to do that now too.
Anyone else going through anything similar? And/or does anyone have any feedback/comments on the book?
