I myself have never had an eating disorder, but I can see how someone with an ED could walk away from this book feeling really seen.

Moderate: Infertility and Vomit
This book discusses bulimia, anorexia, and, to a lesser extent, binge eating disorder. Negative body image, calorie counts and weight goals are often mentioned. Narrator/author describes the "high" that comes with purging and restricting in detail.jasmineehare's review against another edition

I appreciated when she acknowledged her own unconscious or conscious fatphobia, even though there were still moments when weight loss seemed to be framed as still desirable. But overall, this book felt extremely honest and I was fascinated by the newer understanding of the science of eating disorders, as well as the treatments. As a teacher of young girls, it makes me want to know what more I can do to prevent disordered eating before it begins.
