I have done extensive reading of books in the field of eating disorders and I have never read one as good as this one. Ms. Cohen's writing style is clarity itself. She helps you to tailor make a solution for your own particular eating problem. She does not preach a single, magic solution that will automatically work for everyone. "Each person's eating disorder is as unique as a fingerprint," she says at one point. She is compassionate and recounts marvellous stories from her extensive experience in the field of eating disorders to help readers gain insights into their own individual problem. She helps you become friends with food rather than treating food as the enemy. I give the highest recommendation to this book.

This is a wonderful book about not just eating disorders but the pressures society puts on women (and men) to look a certain way and how no one can ever really attain that social "perfection". I had an eating disorder for several years and this book has helped me overcome many of my own demons. It is not a "quick fix" by any means but it makes you really take a look at why you have certain unhealthy behaviors when it comes to food & what you yourself can do to get to the root of the problem. I highly recommend this book for women, as we seem to have the most societal pressures to be thin. It will make you look at yourself & eating in a new light. Thank you Mary Anne Cohen.

A very comprehensive guide. Exceeded my expectations and gave me deeper understanding of my eating issues. A must for anyone on the road of recovery.

Tostadas me enseñó que lo que me pasa es que estoy enferma. Soy bulímica. Ahora sé que no estoy sola ante el problema y que puedo hacer cosas para ayudarme a salir de el. No lo he conseguido al 100 por 100 pero estoy en ello, y cáda vez que lo necesito "tostadas" es mi herramienta. Lo leo y releo cada vez que lo necesito y cogo fuerzas al identificarme con cási todas las personas que salen en el libro; incluída la autora: Mary Anne. Mary Anne, si lees esto, quiero que sepas que me encantaría charlar contigo a través del correo electrónico. Gracias por todo.

Para mí; bulímica española, leer "tostadas" es una recuperación constante. Me ha ayudado a comprender mi enfermedad, a no sentirme sola, a saber qué hacer en cáda momento: tanto los buenos como los malos. Me identifico con la mayoría de las personas que aparecen en el libro, y sobre todo con la autora cuando narra sus comienzos. Lo he leído varias veces, y todavía tengo necesidad de volver a releerlo cuando me encuentro peor respecto a mi enfermedad, pues solo la voy llevando bien, pero sé que no estoy curada. Me interesaría saber si Mary Anne Cohen ha escrito algún otro libro relacionado con la alimentación emocional, y me encantaría hablar con ella a través del correo electrónico. Mary Anne, si lees esto, me llamo María Pilar y mi dirección electrónica es: lanuza@teleline.es Gracias.
