Summary

Eating disorders are perplexing, frustrating, and seem to make no sense to the families and friends of sufferers. The intent of this book is to explain why your loved one has an eating disorder so that you can understand these baffling disorders and help in the recovery process. Throughout the book you are taken into the world of eating disorders, shown what anorexia and bulimia mean to sufferers, and how they live day to day?obsessed with thoughts of calories, fat, body size, and weight. First, the reader is given an introduction to anorexia and bulimia. Here, the most commons signs and symptoms are discussed along with medical complications. In the second section the focus is on detailing the subjective experiences of those who suffer with eating disorders. This section will help you?as a parent, sibling, spouse, friend, or other loved one?understand what an eating disorder is like from the perspective of the person living with it. The final section deals with directions for treatment and what to expect as your loved one recovers.
