Those all look interesting to me, but I've read none of them.
I found the neurobiology thing the most imteresting. If it's true, which obviously it is, that's huge.
If I think of it, I can imagine a mother feeding a child to keep it quiet, to calm it down, in situation where it actually needed to play or cuddle or whatever else it might have needed, none of which involved eating.
So, here's this liitle brain that gets to thinking, hey, I want to play, hmmm... guess I'll have a bite to eat. Hey, I want some affection, where's the Hagen Daz?
And the idea of affirmations, well, it suddenly makes a little more sense. What we're really trying to do is ... retrain ourselves, not only emotionally but... I don't quite have the words for this.
Very interesting.
