Breaking the Cycle: Bulimia Recovery Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe bulimia nervosa from onset to long view. Writers describe how it started — a diet, a sport, a trauma, a discovery that felt like a solution — and the years of secrecy that followed: the logistics, the money, the dental damage, the electrolyte scares, the exhaustion of maintaining a normal surface. Then the first disclosure, to a partner or a doctor or a friend who did not flinch, and the daily grind of treatment: CBT-E and regular eating, food records, the urge surfing that felt absurd until it did not, group programmes and the peers who understood without explanation. Writers are honest about relapse and about the plateaus where behaviours stopped but the thinking did not. Later chapters cover the harder-to-place cases and the slow work of building a different relationship with food and with oneself.

Who it's for

For anyone caught in a binge-purge cycle, people early in eating disorder treatment, and the partners and parents trying to understand what recovery actually requires.
