Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating and purging or consuming a large amount of food in a short amount of time, followed by an attempt to rid oneself of the food consumed, usually by purging and/or by laxative, diuretics or excessive exercise. If this sounds familiar to you then you may find inspiration from this one woman's journey from dependence to freedom through therapy and faith.

Not a very good book on bulimia,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Monster Within: Overcoming Bulimia (Paperback)
This is the biography of one woman's experience in a treatment facility. It deals with her personal experiences that may or may not apply to other people suffering from bulimia. It is heavily Christian in tone and one too many mentions of "God" and "Christ" really turned me off. There are better books on this subject that aren't so religious in tone and are more applicable to a greater audience- i.e., more than just Christian news broadcasters in residential bulimia treatment.

Very real and hopeful from a Christian perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: The monster within: Overcoming bulimia (Paperback)
I was very encouraged by the author's witness of hope for recovery. When I was in the midst of my bulimia, it gave me hope that I could recover too. The fact that she was Christian gave me encouragement to keep praying and depending on God for strength and help through the tough times. I recommend it to anyone!
