Product Description
Product Description
"Having read many books on eating disorders, I am always inspired by ones that are written from a personal perspective. Learning To Be Me is so honest and bravely written. It offers readers immense hope, and I am already recommending it to some of my clients." -Andrea Wachter, coauthor of The Don't Diet, Live-It! Workbook Many women in the United States who suffer from eating disorders die from the diseases annually. Learning To Be Me: My Twenty-Three-Year Battle with Bulimia is one woman's courageous battle to not become a statistic. From violent self-abuse to feelings of despair as her cries for help went unanswered, author Jocelyn Golden's Learning To Be Me chronicles her battle and ultimate victory over one of the most silent, misunderstood, and deadly eating disorders in America. With candor and wit, Golden recounts the miserable realities of living with bulimia for more than two decades and paints a vivid self-portrait of a woman obsessed with being thin. An inspirational memoir about the search for strength, motivation, and support, Learning To Be Me illustrates the importance of self-love on the journey to healing.
About the Author

Having suffered from bulimia myself for 20 years I found this book tremendously comforting and encouraging. I have been in recovery for 4 months and it really helps to know that there are many others out there going through the same difficult battles.
What an amazing and courageous woman and an honest account of what an awful and misunderstood illness does to lives.
The book has certainly given me the belief and strenghth to continue with my recovery.
I would truly recommend this book to anyone with Bulimia or anyone with a relative or loved one who wants to understand the illness further.

Be careful
This book is well written and gives a detailed and in-depth account of bulimia but I'd be wary of reading it if you're currently in a vulnerable position yourself. Read more
