She and her husband live in Virginia, dividing their time between Arlington and Midlothian, a suburb of Richmond. Elisabeth joined Overeaters Anonymous in 1976. Although her abstinence has not been perfect, for 25 years she has maintained a weight between 120 and 125 pounds.

One day at a time, she continues to be gratefully recovering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and uplifting, June 24, 2006

By	Leanne C. Brogan "Inside Amy" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars I think it's working, May 25, 2008

By	J. Zimmel (PIpe Creek, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
