Full: The Emptiness of Overeating: A Kinder, Calmer Path to Weight Loss by Paul Dermody (Paperback)

If you are exhausted from dieting, overeating, and self-blame, Full: The Emptiness of Overeating offers a kinder, wiser path to break the binge-restrict cycle. This book moves beyond the typical focus on calories and formulas, delving into the psychological aspects of eating, including beliefs, emotions, and self-image.

Paul Dermody, drawing on 10 years of coaching experience and modern psychology, explores the deeper forces that drive the binge-restrict cycle. He provides insights into why restriction can fuel cravings, how shame perpetuates unwanted behaviors, and why knowing what to do doesn't always translate into action. The book aims to help readers build trust, calmness, and self-respect around food.

Through 21 short, impactful stories, Dermody illustrates that overeating is often a response to emotions, coping mechanisms, and unmet needs, rather than simple hunger. Full emphasizes awareness, compassion, and flexibility as the foundations for lasting behavioral change, whether your goal is weight loss or healing your relationship with food.

This guide promises to make weight loss easier, foster food freedom, and lead to a life that feels calm, intentional, and nourishing.
