Summary of Tennie McCarty's Shades of Hope

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Food is a common addiction for many people. They eat to fill a void inside them, whether it’s an abusive childhood or just the pains of life. But food only dulls them more.#2 When we reach for those powdered-sugar doughnuts, it is not because we are addicted to the white coating or the dense cake, but because we are addicted to fulfillment. We are unable to find pleasure in the world around us, and so we turn to food to fulfill us.#3 The cycle of desire and shame that surrounds the process of addiction is what defines it. It is not about the consequences, but rather the cycle of desire and shame that surrounds the process.#4 Codependency is when we lose ourselves in the power of relationships, giving away our own identity and needs in order to take care of others. Food addicts are often also codependents, having perfected the act of pretending that there is nothing wrong.
