Women have many secrets. But a womans secret relationship with food and her body can overshadow other aspects of her life, filling her with obsession, shame and fear. Many women waste countless years focusing on food and appearance, rather than spending energy on what holds deepest meaning for them in life. In What Are You Hungry For authors Taylor and Ginsburg show how obsessive dieting, a distorted body image and eating disorders are often symptoms of a deep spiritual void. They offer a revolutionary--and easy to follow--approach to resolving deep-seated food and body issues using methods adapted from Eastern mind/body practices such as yoga. What Are You Hungry For is a discovery book in the tradition of Susie Orbachs Fat is a Feminist Issue and Geneen Roths When Food is Love. It will change the way you think about your body and the way you approach preparing and eating every single meal. Finally, an insightful book that ties together food and our spiritual practice What Are You Hungry For provides both philosophical and practical ways to understand our relationship with what we take into our bodies and to how we are following our internal voices.--Rodney Yee, yoga teacher and star of the bestselling video series Yoga Journals Yoga with Rodney Yee.

Table of Contents
So many people have given us their patient support and genuine interest over the four-year process of writing this book that its impossible to thank everyone by name. So this thanks is extended to all of you with our sincere gratitude. Your caring and interest kept us going.
There are some people we must thank in particular; without their help, this book would never have gone beyond the stage of our chatting away as we drank chai together. So let us start off by thanking those who made possible that beloved chai, without which we would never have had the alertness and sweet attitudeto keep going: the inspired Tom Theobald, beekeeper at Niwot Honey Farm, and the makers of Eden Soy Extra Vanilla Soy Milk (not the lite, it didnt work for us!).
Most important, wed like to thank our families. First the men in our lives: Marys husband, Richard Freeman, and their son, Gabriel, and Lynns husband, Josef Pusedu, are now better educated about women, food, and spirituality than any man may ever wish to be. Theyve been good humored, insightful, and genuinely caring over the years. We love them! And special thanks to Joe for all of his hard work and artistic talent in creating the graphics for this book and for designing our Web site. Special thanks also to Richard for reviewing the yoga section of the book and helping both of us to understand this ancient art and philosophy. Wed also like to thank our parentsMarys father, Frank Taylor, and Lynns parents, Werner and Suzanne Heimfor their belief in our writing and this project.
Wed also like to thank our agent, Jane Dystel, for taking a chance on two new guys on the block and for her limitless patience, wisdom, keen grasp of the industry, and dead-on advice. We were always so grateful to have her in our corner. Miriam Goderich, vice president at Janes agency, was the plucky initial reader of our proposal, very generously wading through our lengthy first drafts. Miriam was a paragon of patience and tact. Without both Jane and Miriam, this project would never have gotten off the ground.
Our editor at St. Martins, Elizabeth Beier, believed in this book from the very beginning. She showed insight into the issues, taking our raw ideas and helping them come to life. Her kindness and fortitude through the revision process was greatly appreciated. Michael Connor, assistant editor on the book, was always a wonderful additional help and a cheerful voice on the other end of the phone.
Michael Morales, Lynns dear friend since childhood and a longtime book editor, helped us tremendously. At the beginning, Mikes advice and assistance was key in finding an agent. Throughout the four years, whenever we were confused about the publishing process, Mike was there with well-seasoned advice and a well-timed jokealways deeply appreciated. His tenure in the blue chair is clearly evidenced by his punditry!
Wed also like to thank Wendy Zerin, M.D., for her generous advice and for her suggestions and revisions on the Buddhist meditation sections of the book. We are grateful to Aadil B.A. Palkhivala, who sat around the kitchen table with us and with boundless enthusiasm and passion discussed the importance of finding meaning and pursuing dharma. His ideas were of great help in formulating the dharma section of our book.
Others whove helped enormously are Diane Farris, Diane Fassel, and Jeanie Manchester for reading early drafts of the book and providing useful feedback. Bill Goldman, who would havebought stock in us if only wed have sold ithis enthusiasm and buoyant good humor helped us through. Spencer Beasley, who took the time to try to knock some learning into Lynns head but cant be held responsible for her grammar. Tami Simon of Sounds True Productions provided generous support and networking. Thanks to Dan Finney for the acupuncture and Melanie Lancaster for the massages, both of which kept us up and running. We also thank Donna Fone, Rodney Yee, and John Robbins for their support and endorsement, and David and Helena Balduc, owners of the Boulder Bookstore, for their ongoing advice and knowledge of the book business.
Wed also like to thank Kathryn Arnold, Wynn Beardsley, Diane Botticelli, Teresa Bradford, Johanna Jongkind, Joanne Murphy, Lauren Piscopo, Tom Quinn, along with Jessica and Galen, Lois Sandusky, Erich Schiffmann, and Denise Snell. So many of our friends at the Yoga Workshop in Boulder displayed an enduring interest and support for our work, never tiring of asking Hows the book? over the course of those four long years. This community has been our sangha and our refuge. Thank you all. And to all of the women who have attended our workshops, youve been inspirational!
In loving memory: Edith Beasley, Venable Herndon, Osita, Pen Wu, and Stitious. Your presence is with us!
