Description
Book SynopsisEating disorders are everywhere, from anorexics to bulimics, binge eaters to yo-yo dieters. An awful lot of people today feel miserable around food and unhappy in their bodies. But it doesn't have to be this way. Recovering from an eating disorder is a long, difficult road, and you need guidance along the way. There are many books about eating disorders available. This book is different. This book isn't about your eating disorder: it's about you. This book doesn't focus on food and eating and weight issues: these are merely the symptoms, not the problem. Instead, this book offers practical, insightful, gentle guidance that can help you discover the underlying reasons for your eating disorder and how you can truly heal. Most importantly, this is a book to give you hope. When it comes to eating disorders, the author has been there, done that, got the t-shirt. And now she's living proof that it's possible to let go of an eating disorder and be happy, healthy and healed (and hey, even contentedly curvaceous). She let go of Ed. And so can you.
Trade ReviewIn 'Letting Go of Ed' Pippa Wilson has written a book that will strike a chord with many who have struggled with their eating and self-perception. Pippa's journey is inspirational and her story - written in a jargon-free style - can be dipped in and out of. Pippa's eating disorder 'Ed' - firstly a friend, quickly becoming the foe - is easy to identify with. Making a 'wish list' and setting out a world without 'Ed' demonstrates to the reader what life could be like - and the overall encouraging and motivating tone, with tips for coping and accepting help, is a valuable tool in helping someone beat their eating disorder.(beat (Eating Disorders Association))
