Synopsis

Why it was never about food – and how loving yourself changes everything.

Do you eat when you’re not hungry—then drown in guilt, shame, and silence?

You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You’re just running.

The truth is, emotional eating was never about food. It’s about the feelings you were taught to silence.

In You Can’t Eat Love, Leslie Lindsey Davis shares the raw, hopeful path that helped her stop hiding, lose nearly 100 pounds, and finally make peace with food and herself. Through stories, humor, and straight talk, she’ll show you how to:

✔ Hear what your cravings are really trying to tell you
✔ Stop guilt and shame from running your day
✔ Rebuild trust with yourself, one honest choice at a time
✔ Speak with compassion instead of criticism
✔ Finally believe: you are enough, just as you are

Readers say:
⭐ “I laughed, I cried, and I saw myself on every page.”
⭐ “This book finally helped me stop dieting and start living.”

👉 If you’re tired of starting over, this isn’t another diet. It’s your roadmap to food freedom, self-love, and the truth you’ve been hungry for all along.

About this title

About the Author

Leslie Lindsey Davis is a 6 time author. Her first book, "You Can't Eat Love: how learning to love yourself can change your relationship with food" has been in the Amazon top 20 in at least 2 categories since it was released in January 2021.

Like so many, it took a moment of extreme sadness for Leslie to realize something had to change. She began on a journey to fix what she thought was broken.

That was when she discovered the 'myself-sized' hole in her heart. That was when she realized she was not broken, just uninformed. She did not know how to love herself.

Now, Leslie is on a mission to help others find their WHY to go on any journey of self-discovery, introduce them to their very best friend in the whole wide world, learn to love themselves, lose the weight, and live their best life.

Some of her most used phrases:
 

• "Learning to love yourself is the longest journey to the closest destination - you."
• "When you hit a traffic jam in life don't park your car, don't get out, don't walk home."
• "You can only do something about you. Everyone else has to do them."
• "No one can make you anything - except reservations for dinner." (specifically the phrase 'you made me sad or mad or angry')
• "There are no cheat days, cheat weeks or cheat anything - it is a choice. You can only cheat on taxes, tests and your significant other."
• "Lose the shoulda's, woulda's, and coulda's. Instead, recognize it was a choice. Maybe a not so good choice, but a choice. Keep your power, don't give it away."
• "Put this bus in park. Let's look at what is really going on."
• "You are enough."
