Riassunto

With more than 100 practical tools to help you conquer your eating disorder and find freedom, Telling ED NO! is a unique, accessible survivor's guide. Cheryl Kerrigan recalls having unhealthy thoughts about food and body image as early as age five. Held captive by her eating disorder (ED) for more than two decades, Cheryl experienced an entire childhood, adolescence, and much of her adulthood from the perspective of a tortured prisoner -until she found the strength and support to break free. Based on the author's own incredible story, Telling ED NO! brings the recovery process to life, from family interventions to life in a treatment center to throwing out your scale and beyond, helping you see that you really can break free and silence ED for good. Using inspiring real-life stories and candid straight-talk, Cheryl presents over 100 practical recovery tools as well as exercises and questions designed to encourage journaling and discussion that will help you navigate your path to recovery. You'll learn: . why having a "treatment team" is essential, and how to assemble one . how to end self-destructive behaviors such as cutting and over-exercising . how to transform ED's controlling rules into powerful new recovery rules . how to enjoy family holidays and nights out with friends without anxiety . and much more. Part self-help book and part memoir, full of raw emotion, tough decisions, fears, and triumphs, this unique workbook will help you learn to incorporate food, laughter, and love back into your daily life one step at a time.
