	Confessions of a Binge Eater: How I Finally Lost Those Damn Twenty Pounds	by Sunny Alexander Nov. 05, 2011	Free!	4104 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: As a psychoanalyst, my life's work has been centered on emotional healing through metaphors and storytelling. I specialize in dream analysis, anxiety disorders and GLBT issues. My background as a psychoanalyst lends itself to writing about the depth of interpersonal relationships and the healing that comes from the human connection. I invite authors and readers alike to submit psychological questions to me. Is there something you want to know about your character? How and why they might behave in a certain way? As a reader, is there something you have always wanted to ask a therapist? I won't be able to answer every question, but I'll select the ones that have general interest and post it on my blog. Happy Writing and Happy Reading! Sunny

	Fat Boy Thin Man	by Michael Prager May 27, 2010	$9.99	45436 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: I am a stay-at-home dad and a writer and author. My professional focus is on food and its effects on the individual, on the collective, and on the environment. The goal of "Fat Boy Thin Man," my first book, is to make the case for food addiction in a humorous, self-deprecating, accessible telling. For anyone, "FBTM" is enjoyable, entertaining, and enlightening. For those unhappy with their relationship to food, or for their loved ones, it can also be a guide to relief, although to be very clear, this is NOT a diet book, and I am NOT a guru. What I know is the result of experience and what peers and professionals shared with me. I was fat from childhood and into my 30s had gained and lost — and gained back — 400-plus pounds until I began accepting the attitudes, practices, and treatments that have been proven to help addicts recover. I then lost 155 pounds and have been maintaining a normal-size body for almost 20 years. This path has helped millions since it was developed for alcoholics in the 30s, and could help millions more if applied to the segment of people whose weight problem is deeper than just a little carelessness or occasional indulgence. Paradoxically, the best news about this path is that is can work for anyone who takes it, regardless of if they're "real" addicts, which is, of course, a self-diagnosis. For those with this issue, it could be worthwhile to read about what happened to someone who did take it.
