ED recovery books?

momov2boys · 11-12-2008, 09:17 AM

Just interested if anyone has read:

Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders, by Aimee Liu

&/or

Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too, by Jenni Schaefer and Thom Rutledge

And any thoughts you have regarding these books.

Thanks!

Thanks, Pookie!

I finished reading Gaining, last night.

It was phenomenal!
I learned so very much of what I needed to understand more about EDs and recovery.

I'd recommend it to anyone who has struggled with disordered eating.

Just something I am pondering in the Atkins 72 book he states that he believes most of us with a compulsion to overeat are really just responding to our out of whack insulin levels due to eating too much carbohydrate. I have restarted low carb severely limiting A/S and eating truly to hunger ( mostly in the way of not allowing hunger to linger) and have not binged since 12/12. That is BIG for me. Just my thoughts.

That is great that you are having success with controlling the AS and the binge eating. I am working on eliminating the AS but not doing so well. I've pretty much eliminated the diet soda--if I have it around, I drink it and will go through a 2L bottle a day if it is in the house. Fortunately, when I shopped yesterday, they did NOT have my favorite brand on the shelf so I didn't even have to debate with myself as to whether to purchase it. Now I need to work on the tea/coffee with splenda addiction....oh, also have to deal with s/f chewing gum and other s/f products. I'm an addict....
Congrats on your success!
