Summary

Here is an honest, comprehensive, and inspiring resource for those in recovery from an eating disorder. While there are numerous memoirs available chronicling individual women's struggles with anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders, this is the first book to bring together many people's stories to create a complete and candid picture of the recovery process. The author has brought together firsthand accounts of recovery to create a realistic roadmap for the journey. This book also includes informational sidebars, written by professionals in the field, on topics including treatment options, choosing the right therapist, the pros and cons of medication, how parents and spouses can help, and much more. -- From publisher
