Bulimia Nervosa and Binge-eating: A Guide to Recovery (Robinson Family Health Series)

"Before I bought this book (March 2001) I was too scared to tell anyone about my bulimia and I didn't know where to turn but I knew I couldn't carry on the way I was because I was very unhappy. Almost as soon as I had read the book I had stopped throwing up and the binging got less and less. It takes time and sometimes you'll seem to be taking a step backwards but you're not it's all part of the learning process. The book makes sense and is straight forward but you need to take it seriously and dedicate time in your life to it. Now I don't binge, I eat whatever I want and I'm happy with the way I look, in fact I'd say I'm happier with my body than most people I know. I later went to counselling to deal with the reasons behind my bulimia which was also helpful. Just remember it takes time, you don't have to be perfect, the majority of people comfort eat to a certain extent and counselling might be helpful."
