Product Description: In this intimate story, Zadoff describes his "twenty-eight years fighting a war against food, fat, and my body," and the "food addict" diagnosis that finally made sense of it: "sneaky, secretive, dishonest, and deceptive...

Imparting "what I wish I'd known all those years," as well as raising the profile of overeaters' plight, Zadoff's book begins with snappy chapters detailing his dysfunctional relationship with food, followed by strategies for recovery. A good first step, he suggests, is to create a food "traffic light" list in which "red" foods are triggers to avoid: "Like an alcoholic, if I put a trigger food in my mouth, I will once again be at its mercy."
