As a person with an eating disorder this article really upset me. As if talking to the food and ask it if it will love me, Will it hug me, actually works. If I could self soothe myself, deal with being alone and not feeling worthless then I would not have an eating disorder. If these tactics worked and after 2 years of therapy, I would not have an eating disorder. If these tactics worked then no one would be over weight.

Oops... you have been in therapy for two years and you still believe that being overweight is caused solely by eating when you are not hungry? Or even primarily by it? I would disqualify your therapist if I were his or her licensing board.
But seriously - it might be that one of the reasons that your therapy has not been successful has nothing to do with your perceived failures or shortcomings. Maybe your therapist is simply not qualified to treat you, or anyone with an eating disorder for that matter.
