According to Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders, Inc.
more than half of teenaged girls are, or think they should be, on
diets. About three percent of these teens go too far, becoming
anorexic or bulimic.
Those numbers don't include the vast numbers of people with
subclinical disordered eating behaviors: those whose eating and
weight control patterns are far from normal, but who do not meet the
guidelines for a formal diagnosis. As a society, we are just too busy
trying to conform to all those impossible ideals around us to really
discover who we are, and what really matters to us as individuals.
Luckily, there is help to be found. I believe that there is strength in
numbers, and I believe that no one can help us rediscover our own
feelings about ourselves better than others who are already going
through the exact same things that we are. I've learned a lot of things
throughout my own recovery from disordered eating, both from my
own experiences and from some of the incredibly insightful people
I've connected with over the past couple of years.
I want to share that knowledge with you.
This book will address all of those little questions or problems you
might have about developing a healthier lifestyle, feeling better
about yourself, and accomplishing your dreams.
And it is my hope that this book might just become that one extra
tool we all need in our own personal journeys towards health and
true self-acceptance.

the book project as it develops!
