Synopsis

Do you eat when you’re not hungry — then feel guilty afterward?
It’s not a food problem. It’s a feeling problem.
You’ve spent years feeding your pain instead of feeling it — shoving down the hurt with cookies, numbing the loneliness with pasta, trying to swallow the shame one bite at a time.
And when it didn’t work, you blamed yourself instead of the lies you’ve been told about love, worth, and “being good.”

It’s time to strip away the gray — and live your life in full color.

You Can’t Eat Love isn’t another diet book. It’s a heart-to-heart conversation with someone who’s been there — someone who used food to numb pain, stuff emotions, and avoid the truth. Leslie Lindsey Davis lost almost 100 pounds — not by obsessing over calories, but by learning to love herself.

Inside this life-changing book, you’ll discover how to:

• Break the shame cycle of guilt and binge eating
• Uncover the emotional triggers behind your food choices
• Feel your feelings without using food as a buffer
• Silence your inner critic and become your own best friend
• Create a new relationship with food rooted in grace, not punishment

“I finally understand I’m not broken. This book helped me stop dieting and start healing.” — Reader Review

This isn’t another plan to fix you. It’s a roadmap to find you — one choice, one page, one conversation at a time.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You might talk back to the book. But most of all — you’ll begin to believe you are worthy of your own love.

Additional companion tools:
✔ Workbook to track progress
✔ Journal for honest conversations
✔ Access to a private support group (no diets, no shame — just love)

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."
