This volume of Overeaters Anonymous Literature deals with Body Image, Relationships and Sexuality. Journeys to personal recovery are arduous and impactfully presented by survivors who lay bare their struggles with food as an antidote to pain. It is divided into three chapters entitled, Body Image, Relationships, and Sexuality. Though the book is under 150 pages it packs a wallop in terms of the traumas experiences by survivors. It is best explored in small doses with time for reflection.

Right on!

I read this book in a group. It was great to
read and great to be able to discuss the concepts in the stories. I didn't relate to details in every story, but each one held a basic truth that I did need to explore.
It reminded me that no one is immune to the disease of over eating.
I highly recommend this book.

Read this with my sponsor over a series of months, discussing the stories as we went. There were a lot of very inspiring shares here. I particularly loved the last story.

Very interesting and thought provoking snippets. I had imagined I would not relate to much said in this book, but actually I related to a great deal.
