I was imprisoned by my own eating disorder for over 25 years, I am now a survivor.

At an early age I started to feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I placed much of my focus on body, weight, and shape and I started to deal with my feelings in unhealthy ways. Through the years I suffered from anorexia, bulimia, and exercise compulsion.
My mind was constantly racing. Inside I was completely empty. I was merely a shell of myself.

I would have these rare occasions where I would think…

“There has to be more. I want more. I deserve more.”

I would have a brief surge of energy to conquer this disease and think that my whole life was going to change for the better and then seconds later I felt fat and disgusting and the anxiety within me was nearly impossible to tolerate.

The disease would win. If I continued my path of eating disordered behaviors, death was likely.

At the age of 35, I entered an Intensive Outpatient Program in New York City.
This was my last shot.

Writing this book didn’t just happen, it happened because of my own journey, going through personal growth and coming out on the other side, fully recovered from Anorexia.

I am an eating disorder survivor, fully recovered.

And you can be too.
