I've been in touch with Becky Henry for some time and she's an amazing and positive woman (based in the States) who will go out of her way to help others in the ED nightmare.
I was reading this book only last night. I love the "What I wish I'd known then" sections. Also the way she's written about so many different family experiences. Readers are sure to find common ground with their own individual situations, I am certain.
Obviously the medical angle is US-based, but that's not really a problem if you're a UK reader - the illness is the same as are the families' experiences.
Definitely a book to add to your eating disorders reading list.

This is the most down to earth book i have ever read.I read it over the weekend and at the end of it i thought to myself,this person wrote this book for me.
At last i could identify with someone, there was someone in that book who had walked the same road as me,someone who had recovered....no miraculous cure, but lots of soothing balm, lots of encouragement and every time i feel isolated i pick up this brilliant book.

Perfect selection of insight and information
11 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I HIGHLY recommend this book! As the parent of someone who has had an eating disorder for many years, I've read my share of books on this topic. One of my frustrations is how to tell those I'm close to what it's like to go through this experience. There have been many books with great stuff, but I was always afraid that my loved ones would think that our experience was exactly the same or assume we couldn't possibly be going through the horrors described by a particular writer. This book solves that frustration since each story in here had something in common with our story and the volume of very challenging accounts puts to rest the notion that our situation couldn't really be that bad.
This is the perfect arrangement for a book on this topic--it shares so many different experiences, which alone provides comfort for those managing a disease which fosters so much isolation and shares resources, many of which I was not familiar with - even after all these years. It gives accounts from the perspective of mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, those who have recovered and those still struggling, whether they be male or female.
I have found this disease to be emotionally and physically exhausting and finding so much of what I want in one book was a miracle. I just hope Becky Henry doesn't stop with this one.
I have picked it up just to reread parts, as well as for reference reasons many times. By the way, when I finished it, I immediately ordered three more copies, because my copy isn't ever leaving my house.

A MUST-READ for any dealing with a loved one with an eating disorder
18 April 2011
Format:Paperback
In "Just Tell her To Stop" Becky offers the rare opportunity to read about the very personal, rarely shared and often heart-wrenching experiences of families/friends that have had to deal with a loved one's eating disorder. It is a must-read for parents, friends, relatives, ect...who are affected by a loved-one's eating disorder. Others have been down the road and their testimonies recorded in Becky's book can offer support and encouragement to those in the midst of the battle or to those who want a deeper understanding of the battle (pastors, youth group leaders, teachers, doctors, therapists, etc) so they can be more supportive. Eating disorders have been misunderstood and disregarded for way too long. They are deadly, they are diseases and they are on the rise in both boys and girls. This compilation of very personal and real stories should be read by every adult, in my opinion. Had it been available three years ago, it may have educated me enough to see the red flags in my own loved one's struggle before it got life threatening. It's TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT!!! Thanks Becky!

a must read for families who know ED
24 May 2011
Format:Paperback
Just Tell Her to Stop does a great job of illustrating the tornado-like effect that EDs have on families. I particularly love the chapter on sibling stories. My personal experience with having a sister with bulimia-was that it could never be described simply. This chapter really captures the wide range of emotions siblings go through, through the voices of 3 very different sibling perspectives. I found all 3 of them relatable in different ways. So glad someone is helping give a voice to the families, as those are often silenced or pushed aside when ED is often naturally the main focus. Thanks Becky!
