Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia have become common in
teenage girls, who feel they must conform to over-exaggerated
ideals of thinness and beauty. In "Diary of an Eating Disorder",
Chelsea Smith bravely comes forward with a day-to-day account of
her life with an eating disorder.
Chelsea relates how her parents' divorce and sexual abuse by a
neighbor resulted in a deep-rooted negative personal image and low
self-esteem. Her diary reveals the surprising and shocking ideas
and beliefs she held about herself, her obsession with food and
eating, her desire to recover and become healthy, and her despair
that her eating disorder could cause her to lose the people she
loved and prevent her from achieving her goals. She recounts her
days in an eating disorder rehab center and her long road to
recovery. Throughout the book, the author's mother, Beverly Runyon,
describes Chelsea's life and the difficulties of watching a beloved
child starve herself until she finally asks for help.
"Diary of an Eating Disorder" provides enlightening insights
into the mind of a person affected with anorexia and bulimia. The
parents of girls afflicted with these diseases will value this book
as a promise of hope that recovery is possible.
