Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Severe dieting often results in periods of reactive binge eating. a phenomenon experienced by one in twenty American women. Responses to these periods may include prolonged fasting, self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives and diuretics, and obsessive exercise: all symptoms of bulimia. This workbook contains tools to help bulimics break the cycle of bingeing and reacting, allowing them to take control of their lives and make positive behavior changes. Use it to recognize the symptoms of bulimia, its causes, and the health risks it poses. Then work through the exercises to normalize eating and deal with the issues that underlie the symptoms. Take control of your recovery process with checklists, self-monitoring assessments, and thought diaries. Practical advice and real-life examples reinforce attitudes and offer encouragement. Discover that it is possible to overcome your disorder and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

This comprehensive guide covers everything from bulimia’s symptoms, causes, and risks to how to normalize eating, shift eating-disordered thoughts, build on personal strengths, improve self-esteem, deal with underlying issues, prevent relapse, and understand what medications can help. With many real-life examples, this book also helps readers learn through the experiences of other sufferers how to overcome their disorder and live a happier, more fulfilled life.

From the Publisher
Based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the techniques in this book have been proven staggeringly effective in clinical trials. The authors are leading researchers and experts in the eating disorders field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, there is help..., February 8, 2004
By anonymous (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
I've been suffering from bulimia for 12 years. This workbook is helping me finally get control of my illness and my life. The exercises are extremely beneficial for understanding the feelings behind my destructive actions and (more importantly) how to change them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is or knows someone who is bulimic. It is truly saving my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Important Book I Will Ever Read, May 10, 2004
By A Customer
From start to finish this book is packed with useful, informative and best of all, unintimidating tools that are extremely helpful. This book offers insight into the distorted thoughts that accompany eating disorders. By understanding what is going on in your mind, you can learn to change the way you see both yourself and the effects of your eating disorder. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering with an eating disorder or to anyone who knows someone who is. Reading this book truly changed my life, and for the first time in four years I am actually living a healthy and fufilling lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Using with my therapist and DBT, January 5, 2005
This book breaks it down and then builds you up on a path to recovery. I use it as part of the things I pick up when I absolutely don't know what to do next and the disease is beating down my door. Very well written. Highly recommended for the bullimic that is ready for recovery.
