Unknown Warrior: Battling the Mirror

by Sarah Callazzo

Everyone fights battles “unknown” to those around them. Even though individuals may be hurting behind closed doors, they are nothing less than “warriors.” Eating disorders are extremely prevalent amongst the Greek community and, yet, conversations about their struggles are often suppressed and misunderstood. Eating disorders look different on everyone. There is a large spectrum of severity that the media only portrays a small piece of. The idea that students are not “sick enough” to deserve help is a detrimental mindset that so many are susceptible to fall into. Far too much pressure is placed on our physical appearances, when it is in fact the least interesting thing about us.

Whether you're celebrating a victory or facing a challenge, this book is there for you—ready to fold pages, start conversations, and bring light to the darkest corners of your journey. It’s a must-read for anyone who has ever felt lost and wants to find their way back to themselves."

A Beautiful, Uplifting Book of Positivity

This book is unlike any eating disorder book I’ve read. It’s a bit like a recovery journal, with bite-sized entries and year-end summaries and with mindfulness to avoid sharing potentially triggering content like specific weights or behaviors. It’s also a bit like a love letter from a friend, filled with bountiful encouragement and effervescent hope for better days. Bits of the prose remind me of Amanda Lovelace in all the best ways, too.

I think everyone who’s in the throes of an eating disorder or are in any stage of recovery should read this for a bit of encouragement and a lot of hope.
