Product Description
At age 23, Debbie Danowski was imprisoned by food addiction. Years of stuffing her feelings by ingesting endless quantities of ice cream, potato chips, candy, and burgers left Danowski feeling isolated, inadequate, deceptive, and unlovable. Liberation came only after Danowski enrolled in a six-week inpatient treatment program for food addiction. There, as she learned about her physiological addiction to sugar and flour, Danowski came to recognize her deeper, unmet cravings for love and self-acceptance.
With honesty, raw emotion, and even a bit of humor, Danowski offers an engaging first-person account of her treatment experience. The result is an inspirational and informative book that offers hope to millions of people who suffer from food addiction.
Locked Up for Eating Too Much: The Diary of a Food Addict in Rehab
This book is written for anyone concerned about an older parent, grandparent or other older adult who has a problem with alcohol or mood-altering medications. It is the only book I’ve found that covers this topic so completely and, not only does it explain the problem clearly, it offers practical steps to help the older person get the right kind of help and live out the rest of their golden years sober — able to, once again, enjoy family, grandchildren and friends. Best insight: many of the things attributed to aging can be a result of addiction. With sobriety, many or all of the problems go away.

Coarl and Debra I cannot tell you enough how I apreciated reading your book. It’s helped me a lot in working with the older adult and especially with my aging mother. I like the laymans language that you used when writing your book,it was so easy to understand, I didn’t have to have my webster dictionary in the other hand as I was reading. I work at a veterans home and I am planning to do an inservice, with another colleague, for the staff at the home. I’m plan to do this at the end of October and I’m going to use your book as a resource. Again thanks for writing such a great and helpful book as there is not alot out there for the older adult.

This book gave me what I’d been searching for — a guide to help my 67 year old mother who has a serious alcohol problem. She didn’t remember conversations, slurred her words, had falls during the night, had bruises on her face and arms, ate poorly, isolated from us and her friends, and refused to see a doctor. I slowly watched my wonderful mother change before my eyes. I couldn’t even trust her to babysit her grandchildren. This book not only gave me the information I needed, but helped get my reluctant brother and sister to finally agree to get our mother help. I give this book my wholehearted endorsement and recommend it to anyone worried about an older parent who has an alcohol problem. I haven’t found any other book like it.

I have suffered from food addiction for many years. This book has helped me dig deep into myself to find out when my eating disorder began. If you suffer from an eating disorder or would like to better understand how an eating disorder affects the life of someone you care about, this book is definately worth purchasing.
