Just Eat It: How intuitive eating can help you get your shit together around food by Laura Thomas
4.0
I find that some self-help audiobooks really should come with a warning that there are a LOT of exercises that require pen and paper and that actually, getting your hands on a physical copy is perhaps the better way to get the most out of it. For example, there are a few quizzes that ask you to score points out of a total, but it's not entirely clear on audio where the divisions between statements lie. I think I should try and get this in a paper edition to really do the work it encourages you to do.
This book is packed full of useful advice on detangling your relationship with food, all laid out in actionable steps. Whilst Thomas really encourages you to go all in on her method, I do think this might be useful for some people who are just trying to get out of some sticky and problematic thought patterns.
Something I didn't like- and it's probably a sign that I shouldn't listen to audiobooks about food- is the relentlessly tactile food imagery asking you to imagine textures and flavours. I completely get it but over-detailed eating descriptions make me really queasy- so if you also don't go for that, brace yourself.
