    • 1980, Glenn, But I Don't Eat That Much, page 38:
      [] physicians, dieticians,[sic] teachers, and many others can assist you in the insight-gaining process, but you will be able to develop much of it yourself if you are willing to do so. Being aware of why you are miseating is a requirement in controlling this miseating.
