Book Description
Step-by-step – the proven path to recovery from bulimia nervosa and binge-eating
Product Description
As many as one in 20 women in the western world suffer bouts of uncontrolled binge-eating. Going without food for long periods, making yourself vomit and taking laxatives you don’t need are also common and are symptoms of bulimia nervosa. Such illness costs lives if not successfully treated. Now in its second edition, Peter Cooper’s sympathetic and highly acclaimed guide gives a clear explanation of the disorder and the serious health issues that can result from it. He describes the treatments available today and, most importantly, sets out a self-help guide for those who want to tackle their difficulties for themselves, with a step-by-step programme. This is a real chance for sufferers to take the road to recovery, and will give their friends and family a much clearer understanding of the illness and its remedy.

Format:Paperback
This book is aimed at sufferers, their loved ones and based on changing your thought patterns associated with binger eating, letting you gain insight and showing that you are capable of altering the habits formed, why did, you binge to begin with, and how to overcome and avoid doing it or at least reduce the binge purge cycle in future.
In other words , it is a self help guide and there is some space to jot your notes and keep track of how you are doing foodwise.
It is aimed at adults who recognise that they have a mildish form of the disorder but not suitable if you are needing medication ,it's aimed primarily at adults who havent done any longterm damage to themselves and occasionally throw up ,purge or excercise etc and reognise it is now affecting the way they eat and socialise and live their life. It perhaps helps explain why you sometimes purge after a big overeating session and avoid the triggers.
They show some the caseloads in the book , and if you think you can relate to any of the ladies who are quoted could , you too can learn to eat a healthy diet with some key pointers, there will be people whom it wont work for, those in a serious grip of serious body altering diet, or in denial and crossing over from anorexia states and who may have been hospitalised previously etc.
It is a non judgemental book that shows mentally why people succumb to the bulimic eating disorder and how to reverse those often negative thought patterns for good(hopefully).

Gentle, Non Judgemental Approach
3 Feb 2012
The overcoming series has always been helpful. I used the Overcoming Depression by Paul Gilbert and it is so helpful...Now I am finding help with my binging.
