I am excited to hear of people working with food addicts and emotions. My
purpose in publising the theory is to support people like you and those
of us who are recovering from addictions. I am a recovering food addict
myself, and my personal work in releasing pent up emotions, especially
anger, has relieved me of my addiction to food. I hope to put a
laypersons version of the theory on the Net, after it's published in a
scientific journal. If you are interested and send me your address off
the list, I would send you an advanced copy.

My best, Ellie
