This book saved my life (and my sanity)!!

I'm a recovering anorexic (thanks to this book) It's full of great information on the psychological, physiological, and social effects of this horrifying disease. It provides great information for friends and family on how to support those suffering from anorexia, and dedicates an entire section to "the sufferer". I wanted to recover so badly, but I didn't know where or how to begin, and I was too humiliated to see anyone professionally. I had forgotten how to eat: when to eat, what to eat, and I didn't know what eating again would do to my body. This book told me all that, and helped me to differentiate my self from the "anorexia minx" This book is sympathetic, supportive, informative, and a must for sufferers and their friends and families!
