Well, since summer has come and gone, here are a couple of books from my winter reading list:
- Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia; by Marya Hornbacher
- Good Girls Do Swallow: The Darkly Comic True Story of How One Woman Stopped Hating Her Body; by Rachael Oakes-Ash
- Lying in Weight: The Hidden Epidemic of Eating Disorders in Adult Women; by Trish Gura
Having finally written my own story about my struggle with an eating disorder, I find it helps me stay strong and healthy by reading others’ accounts and their victories. It still shocks me to see such striking similarities between myself and others who suffered, too, who had completely different upbringings, backgrounds, interests, and challenges than I had. It reminds me the disease is blind. It doesn’t care who you are or how strong you are. It just takes over.
