In case you didn’t know, I’m writing a book! I finished the first draft a week ago and am now starting the editing process. I wanted to share the initial design for the cover and the introduction as a “sneak peek” of what’s to come.
I’m excited to bring this book into the world (and a little overwhelmed at the editing process). Stay tuned for more!
A New Perspective on Binge Eating
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of an empty cookie package, wondering how you got there? Or perhaps you've sworn off certain foods, only to find yourself consuming them in secret, filled with shame and guilt? If so, you're not alone. I've been there too, and I understand the pain, confusion, and frustration that comes with binge eating.
But what if I told you that ending binge eating has very little to do with food?
This might sound surprising, even counterintuitive. After all, isn't food the very thing we're struggling with? However, after years of personal struggle and working with thousands of clients, I've come to a profound realization: binge eating is a symptom, not the root problem.
In this book, we're going to challenge everything you thought you knew about binge eating. We'll explore why willpower isn't the answer, why restricting certain foods often backfires, and why understanding your brain and body is the key to lasting change.
This isn't just another diet book or quick-fix solution. Instead, it's a roadmap to understanding yourself on a deeper level, developing a peaceful relationship with food, and ultimately, living a more fulfilling life.
As we begin this journey together, I invite you to approach these pages with an open mind. You might find some of the concepts surprising or even uncomfortable at first. That's okay. Change often feels that way. But I promise you, if you stick with it, you'll gain insights and tools that can transform not just your relationship with food, but your entire life.
Are you ready to see your struggles in a new light? To put on a different pair of glasses and view yourself and your behaviors with compassion and understanding? If so, let's dive in.
Welcome to the first step in your journey towards peace with food. You are not broken, and you're not alone. Let's get started.

Congratulations on finishing the first draft! I love the cover and your first chapter. Once people realize that what you teach is the key to unlocking the reasons for binge eating, their lives will be changed. These methods can be applied practically across the board in other areas of life too.
Here is a reply I received via email from a current client about this post:
"Wow! Jane this cover and intro are amazing. I love the title of the book. There’s no doubt what it’s about yet enticing enough that I’d pick it up. The intro seems straight forward and to the point. Also, would be type of intro that communicates that you are supportive author who has similar issues as the reader."
