I purchased this book at the height of my disease in 1997 and it gave me the courage to quit. The stories are real and so easy to relate to. I cried through half the book realizing how pathetic I was. I would love to someday personally thank the authors...

I knew that a lot of what I was doing to my body was destructive, but only after reading the book did I want to seek help to end the disease- or try to at least. A big thank you and hugs to the authors. Rating: 5 / 5 Dying to be Thin helped me in ways beyond measure.

Candy Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:51:44 +0000 http://www.anorexiaadvisor.com/2010/02/28/dying-to-be-thin-understanding-and-defeating-anorexia-nervosa-and-bulimia-a-practical-lifesaving-guide/#comment-3631 With society placing the stress it does on females being physically thin, I think the numbers this book quotes for the totals of US women with serious eating disorders is, if anything, on the low side. I along with virtually every woman I know has at one time or another had what amounts to an eating disorder and in a few cases, had them to a serious extent. With body image being as important as it is, particularly with teenage girls, I'm pessimistic that this book or anything else can do more than try to spur the one suffering from this insidious disease to WANT to do something about her affliction. I read this book because I was curious to see if things have gotten any better in the last decade as far as treatment of eating disorders goes, and also in the level of collective recognition among young women that a disorder is there in their own lives. From what I read here, I'd say the answer to both is no. On the positive side, this book did one of the better examples of addressing this life-threatening situation and if it can be gotten to the right hands, it could truthfully save some lives that might be in danger right at this very moment.

There are accounts of what anorexia is truly like from people who suffered from this. It made it less difficult to see how and why they become this way.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the world of eating disorders and its experience.
