I don’t have an iPhone, but I am seriously consider getting one just because the apps are so darn cool. Know of any that I’ve missed, drop me a note. Here are a few I’ve found:
iCounselor: Eating Disorder
Learn skills to overcome your eating disorder and put them into practice right when you need them! All material was written by a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) with twenty-five years of counseling experience. You first rate the frequency and intensity of your disordered thoughts about eating on a color coded scale of 0 (none) to 10 (continual, very difficult to resist). You move on to the first set of skills, where you will select one of ten ways to change your thoughts. If you are not sure which skill to select, shake the iPhone or iPod and one will be randomly chosen. Changing your thoughts to change your feelings is the basis of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, the most widely practiced form of psychotherapy. (.99)
Gaining by Aimee Liu (book)
Aimee Liu, who wrote Solitaire, the first-ever memoir of anorexia, in 1979, returns to the subject nearly three decades later and shares her story and those of the many women in her age group of life beyond this life-altering ailment. She has extensively researched the origins and effects of both anorexia and bulimia, and dispels many commonly held myths about these diseases with the persuasive conclusion that anorexia is a result of personality.

Binge-Breaker (book)
Binge eating, eating more food than feels comfortable, is a problem for more than half of all overweight Americans.

Miller reveals the proven six-step program that has already helped thousands of dieters conquer binge eating and lose weight permanently. Readers will discover: -- The psychological and biological reasons for binging-- Ways to eliminate the "all-or-nothing" syndrome-- How to eat "forbidden" foods in moderation-- Breakthrough techniques of "mindfulness" -- the key to overcoming binge eating permanently-- Behavior strategies, eating plans, and a moderate exercise program.
