I learned so much from this book. The author did an amazing job with different experience.

As someone who struggles with an eating disorder I am always looking for books to help guide me and those around me to better understand What an eating disorder is and how really it never goes away you never really overcome an eating disorder you learn to cope.
Louise Taylor uses a lot of information help those who do not understand eating disorders in hopes they are able to understand what triggers an eating disorder. Society, Mental Health, PTSD and so much more.
I appreciated that she covered the fact eating disorders are an addiction. I have found most people feel or think an eating disorder is done for attention when in fact its not. Its an addiction just like drinking, sex and drugs. I can honestly say it is like a runners high after not eating for 24hrs.
She covers society desire to have women look like the women on runways. Hangers for clothing as I like to call it.
The author paints a wonderful picture of what can trigger an eating disorder.
She gives readers different areas of healing, therapies, and support groups.
Louise Taylor uses UK stats but they are the same all over and much high in the United States.
No one wakes up in the morning and decides to have an eating disorder is is as much about control as it is about fighting the lack of self esteem.
She covers all different types of eating disorder and goes into details from the ones everyone knows Anorexia, Bulimia, to lesser know Binge Eating, Purging disorder and more.

I high recommended this book to those who have a family member, friend suffering from an eating disorder so they can help love and guide that person to finding a way to live with an addiction to food. Knowing it will never go away but they can learn to cope and adapt.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher en & Sword
White Owl for the advance copy. It is a wonderful book that will open eyes if people are willing to read it.

A very informative book. It shows the onset of an eating disorder to the many complexities involved

Drawing on personal life experience and from her studies in psychology at university all grounds are covered broaching the subject of eating disorders.

From their onset to worsening symptoms and being a life changing experience for the wrong reasons as chemical reactions stay to go awry within each indivials body, no matter which eating disorder the sufferer has.

Obviously the genetic and environmental factors of influencing an eating disorder is mentioned as well as tips to overcome and get help for recovering to a better state of life. Whether therapy works or not for one person to the next it's all about trying and not giving up on your life and it's quality.

In a changing society unfortunately eating disorders can start younger now more than ever before due to societies judging eyes over us all. It's a book that as someone who's always to some extent going to be recovering from an eating disorder myself, I can appreciate it's a positive influence on me now as a contrast to where I was. Where as if you are struggling it may trigger you more.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
