I read this book, day after day, after I was released from an eating disorder unit. I keep it close by. The words of expression and recovery make me believe in myself.

I have only been reading this book for about a month, so I have not been through all the readings. So far, the book has been helpful to me as I deal with anorexia. Most of the books that I have read that deal with eating disorders seem to deal more with overeating, but this one also seems to give a nod to those of us who restrict our eating.
