It is an efficient resource for parents who are desperate to know what to do right now, at this meal, at the next meal, and then again tomorrow.

The second section of the book provides parents with calorie-rich recipes, divided into meal categories so parents can plan efficiently and with minimum stress. In a world of concern about obesity, parents struggle to find recipes and ideas which will help their child restore weight.

Anguish, guilt, anger, fear, and hopelessness are words often used by mothers who suffer alongside a daughter with an eating disorder. Mothers care for the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of their children, but who cares for them? Cathy Robinson watched her daughter starve herself until she was near death. The resulting helplessness was almost too much for a mother to bear. Making matters worse was the feeling that she was utterly alone in her guilt and pain. She needed others to identify with and help her through this difficult time. "A Melody of Hope: Surviving Your Daughter's Eating Disorder" features inspirational true stories written by mothers of daughters who have recovered from eating disorders; they seek to provide encouragement, hope, and support to mothers beginning their journey. Told with breathtaking honesty and insight, these stories represent some of the many experiences shared by these mothers. For a mother coming to terms with her daughter's illness, these stories represent a welcome community of understanding. "There are very few books that feature families, and fewer still recounting success stories. Far too many are stories written about the tragedy a family experiences when a family member dies as a result of the disorder, not about the much larger community that experiences success. Hope is what people need during those periods when it seems the disorder will never be overcome, and hope is what this book offers." -Bryan Gusdal, MA, Program founder/director, Westwind Eating Disorder Recovery Centre, Brandon, Manitoba

Fat from an early age, the author had an obese adolescence that last into his 30s. Despite having lost more than 130 pounds three times, he weighed 365 in October 1991, when he began accepting that he might be a food addict, and undertaking the practices and treatments designed for alcoholics. "Fat Boy Thin Man" relates what it was like to grow up fat, what it was like to experience reliable improvement in his health and lifestyle, and what about his experience relates to others. The second line of his book assures readers he isn't a guru; he shares what was shared with him by others. "Fat Boy Thin Man" will delight readers who enjoy humorous, engaging, real-life stories of redemption. But it will also serve readers who suffer, or whose loved ones suffer, with obesity that they have tried and failed to resolve repeatedly.

This book was written in an effort to help others who are struggling with anorexia and bulimia so that they too can relate to their own recovery process on a more personal level. The questions and exercises in this book are designed to help those who have difficulties journaling and coming to terms with their eating disorders and to teach them how to self-identify to their relationship with ED and with themselves. During the course of my own recovery, I constantly asked myself, who am I without ED? At the time, ED was the only identity I had ever known and therefore I think was a part of the reason why I held back from moving forward with my recovery for so long. But, now that I consider myself recovered from both the anorexia and the bulimia, my only regret is that I did not choose to walk away from ED years ago I have created this book to help people from all stages of recovery; whether it is your first day or your one hundredth, because recovery is possible at any age in one's life.

Description

This compelling and poignant memoir tells about the journey through the disease of Anorexia, the recovery process, and all that comes with it-the hurt, hope and humor. After almost dying from the disease, and being neglected by the doctors, the author sought recovery and spent seven weeks at an inpatient facility. In her powerful story, she digs into the depths of Anorexia and describes how her simple diet and exercise program turned into a horrific eating disorder-one that controlled her life and forced her to go to the gym every day for four hours and reduce her diet to only fruit. After almost suffering from a heart attack and amazed that she was still alive, she knew she had to save herself and get treatment. Today, she is a survivor. By telling her story of the disease and recovery process, she not only educates the reader about eating disorders, but also shares with them a secret world unknown to many, and most importantly, that there is hope and recovery is possible.

In Binge Free, I present the story of my descent to the depths of hell with binge-eating disorder, my journey back to humanity and the various mental techniques and lifestyle changes that helped me to overcome 25 years of isolation, depression and binging insanity. While this killer sickness caused me to lose my humanity, dignity and hope for life, I managed to escape and, through hard work and determination, have found restoration, peace and happiness. If there be any reason for me to still live, I hope that it's to reach-out to others who suffer and share with them the tools that helped me to recover, and have kept me binge free for ten years. My message is that you, too, can attain this freedom. Binge eating is a sickness that lives in the mind and uses our own thoughts, feelings and memories to entice and trap us. Therefore, to achieve long-term recovery, it is imperative to have a suitable arsenal of mental strategies to counterattack, expose the lies and say NO to binging. Together with a series of lifestyle changes that I suggest, this book gives you the goods straight from the experience of a food addict that survived the assault of binge-eating disorder. I hold nothing back and give you practical tips and tools that you can put to use right away so that you can learn to vanquish the binge eating monster once and for all.

What may begin as a simple longing for a magazine-worthy body can morph into an eating disorder, a deadly disease with the highest mortality rate of any mental health disorder, and the highest suicide rate. Brooke Wesley knows this disease intimately. As a mental health therapist she intervenes daily with young women and men who struggle with eating disorders. But her conviction and compassion grew from her own bout with anorexia, one which nearly cost her her life. In Hungry To Be Whole, you'll share the journey of a high-achieving, radically determined teen who discovered in food deprivation a distraction from pain she didn't know how to manage. And you'll share with her the tough discoveries that led to a life filled with opportunity and joy.

As a nationally ranked high school runner, nobody seemed to notice that Amber Sayer's weight was dropping just as fast as her finish times. "PR" is a sports chronicle, a coming of age story, and a cautionary report of one runner's simultaneous decent into anorexia and rise in the high school track and cross-country rankings. Her honest account of a distressingly common problem among high school and collegiate athletes takes readers through the disease's progression and its unsettling parallels with her burgeoning running career. After losing more than she ever anticipated, and incurring permanent physical and emotional damage, Sayer struggles to overcome her severe case of anorexia and the sport's culture in which eating disorders and their increasing prevalence remain dangerously taboo.

Getting a daughter or son through an eating disorder can be challenging to say the least. In "When Anorexia Came To Visit" 20 families from across the UK talk frankly to Bev Mattocks ("Please eat... A Mother's Struggle To Free Her Teenage Son From Anorexia") about the effect that anorexia had on their lives. (With a Foreword by Professor Janet Treasure, OBE PhD FRCP FRCPsych.)
Few, if any, people expect their son or daughter to develop an eating disorder like anorexia nervosa. Also, eating disorders are notoriously insidious illnesses; they can creep up slowly, almost undetected, over several months or even years. By the time families are aware that something is seriously wrong with their child, the illness can be deeply entrenched. And, once the penny drops, families are faced with the struggle of getting a diagnosis, referral and treatment whilst being forced to undergo a huge and often distressing learning curve.
In "When Anorexia Came To Visit" 20 families (21 if you include the author's own account which appears at the end of this new, updated edition of the book) have come together to describe their own experiences of getting their child through a serious eating disorder: boys as well as girls, from across the UK including England, Scotland and Wales, and across a wide age range from pre-teens to 20-somethings.
Not only do these 20 families want to help other parents understand this complex illness and demand prompt and effective treatment for their child - and learn that there is hope for a full recovery - they also want to provide healthcare professionals with a unique insight into what goes on, at home, beyond the confines of the consulting room as families battle with the eating disorder 24/7. Thus - in addition to parents and carers - this book is important, informative reading for everyone, from GPs and school or university medical teams to mental health practitioners and other professionals.
Of course with such a complex illness and widely differing personal circumstances, each story is different. Nonetheless there are overlaps that many families will identify with. By describing their experiences, these 20 brave families want to help others to identify the warning signs, get help and read about the tools, resources and coping strategies they found most helpful on the journey to recovery.
May these accounts offer other parents and carers the hope, strength and inspiration they need and deserve in the fight for full and sustained recovery for their daughter or son.

Females make up the greater percentage of those affected by eating disorders; however, males are not immune to the disorder. Males can also fall victim to Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa and Compulsive Overeating. Eating disorders are not caused by a single known cause. In fact, the majority of those individuals struggling with this disorder have developed it after numerous factors paved the way. These issues surrounding weight, diet and body image can prove highly dangerous to the physical and mental health of an individual. Because poor body image is at the core of those struggling with eating disorders, it is no surprise that this disorder is associated with depression. The treatments success is proportional to the timing of problem diagnosis. The more time that elapses where harmful habits have developed and become routine, the greater the difficulty to break the unhealthy patterns. Eating disorders are responsible for tremendous damage to both the body and mind, thus the greater the amount of time it is left untreated the greater the danger. If you feel that you or a loved one may be struggling with an eating disorder, it is imperative to seek immediate attention. This book will give the reader further insight into this female and male issue. From what an eating disorder is to where it stems from, pregnancy concerns and treatment; this book will not only inform but offer helpful insight for professional help.
