Oh and I should add that it offers helpful insight for any sort of out of control or unconscious eating behaviour.

Thanks for the info on Fairburn - that sounds like it might be useful for me.
I would really big up the Geneen Roth book. I read it when I was doing counselling at university and it was really hard to read. My family is seriously dysfunctional and it wasn't hard to see how it all added up. Zillions of lightbulb moments! Anyway, it helped tremendously and I noticed I stopped gaining regularly after that experience. I didn't lose the weight I'd already put on but I stopped getting bigger and bigger.
