Surviving
An Eating Disorder
This book is about a journey to recovery, hence the title “Road
to
the Rainbow.”
It begins with my past, and describes events in my life and how
they led to the development of eating disorders.
“Road to the Rainbow” is not about recovery from any
specific disorder. I have been, through the years, an overeater,
an anorexic and a bulimic, switching from one to the other. What
I have recovered from has been the obsession with weight and food.
I have learned about the connection between what was going on
in my life and these obsessions, and I’ve learned that there
are better ways to deal with emotional issues. So, this story
is about recovery and how I returned to a normal, balanced life.
I explore a number of treatments that helped me to overcome the
disease. Some methods were traditional, some not, but they included
the exploration of relationships and the importance of a solid
support system. In addition, I discuss the importance of journaling,
sleep and environment.
Is the book a gripping edge-of-your-seat page turner? A quick
fix
handy reference to recovery? No. It is a story that is real, honest
and truthful.
I have written this book because I am now fully recovered. My
eating disorders are over.
Inside you’ll find my heart, my soul, my recovery and my
gift of
hope for you.
Above all, there is hope.
