  REDBOOK MAGAZINE 
 is talking with Tammy Nelson about sex.  With a whole section on "your love life" Redbook magazine this month asks the sexy question, "how can I get back that lovin' feeling?"

YOUR MOST SECRET SEX QUESTION

"Sex with my husband is good, but I miss that gotta-have-it-feeling from when we were a new couple. How can I get it back?"  
There's a good chance your desire is still there under the surface but that you've gotten into the habit of shoving it away, says psychotherapist Tammy Nelson, author of Getting the Sex You Want. " As a woman living in a diet-obsessed society that glorifies self-sacrifice, you're trained to shut out your hunger- for food and for pleasure," says Nelson. She suggests relearning how to connect with your desires. When you're craving something but you aren't sure what, don't ignore the yearning. Instead, take a few moments to tune in.....

What's Eating You?
A workbook for teens with anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders
 
 by author Tammy Nelson
 
Re-release May 2008

Book Description


In a country where a woman over a size 4 rarely makes it onto the cover of a magazine or onto our TV screens, it's not surprising that eating disorders are so prevalent in girls. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, or binging, eating disorders are destructive and potentially deadly. What's Eating You? helps teens develop the self-esteem and self-acceptance that so often eludes girls with eating disorders. It teaches them how to overcome perfectionism, understand the role that family patterns may play in their eating disorder, and change negative self-talk about their body. As importantly, What's Eating You? shows teens that happiness comes in many sizes.

This book, released in 2003, is now being re-released with a new cover by New Harbinger Publications.  To order on Amazon, go to:
