This is the story of how, at the age of thirty-three, I learned to feed myself.
To begin with, here’s what I did until then: I ate, starved, binged, purged, grew fat, grew thin, grew fat, grew thin, binged, purged, dieted, was good, was bad, grew fat, grew thin, grew thinner. (Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott 1999)
DISORDERED EATING encompasses a wide variety of eating and body image issues affecting 5-10 million girls and women and 1 million boys. (www.NationalEatingDisorders.org)
If you struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive overeating, or body image issues, please seek help from a licensed therapist who specializes in eating disorders.
