Format:Paperback
I have read alot of eating disorders books and I feel that this is one that really helped me through my recovery and understood me in a way no other book did. When I first flipped through it I thought it was really inappropriate and I was taken aback with the way it was written but after i settled in to it I could not put it down and in its own way its humour helped me.

Format:Paperback
This book is a brilliant read for anyone suffering with an eating disorder, it offers a perspective on the recovery process and some useful tips as well as using the metaphor of an eating disorder being an abusive husband which is really effective.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for sufferers who feel they are the only ones who have strange behaviors

Format:Paperback
This book is very easy reading and in sections that means it can be read in small chunks. It explains the behaviours and thoughts of someone suffering an eating disorder. These apply to whether one is in an early stage or has had an eating disorder for many years. Everyone can relate to them. It gives exercises to carry out and unlike other books they are not to trying or take weeks to do. Even I bothered to do them when I normally skip them.
It is not a book however that will magically make one see how to recover. It explains how hard it was in recovery showing the relapses and the one step forward two step back.However it doesn't portray the emotional difficulties involved along the way and makes it appear far easier than the real life scenario.
