For many years she kept her eating disorder a secret: the lonely binge and purge cycles to avoid gaining an ounce. Despite her obvious variations in weight and size, the depressions and feelings of fear and shame, the author lived to tell how she overcame her struggle with an eating disorder. She learned important lessons in the process: that she doesn´t have to be perfect and that she is not alone. Nowadays, more and more women and young girls feel insecure about their image and nearly die in their quest for perfection. Anorexia and bulimia are deadly disorders. The author shares her personal experience with the women who are suffering in silence, and also addresses their family and friends. By narrating her own story, Lorraine C. Ladish intends to help readers better understand what they are going through, and offer them hope. If one is really determined and has faith, she says, it is certainly possible to overcome an eating disorder. Quería ser perfecta. Quería estar delgada. Pero también quería comer sin medida. El resultado: bulimia nerviosa. Tan peligrosa como la anorexia y con tantas similitudes que a veces es dificil distinguirlas. A pesar de mis grandes fluctuaciones de peso, depresiones, miedo y verguenza, mis ganas de vivir pudieron más que la enfermedad. Durante mi recuperación aprendí sobre todo que no tenía que ser perfecta y que en realidad no estoy sola. Quise con este libro compartir mi experiencia con quienes siguen sufriendo en silencio, para que entiendan mejor lo que les pasa, para que busquen ayuda y para ofrecerles la esperanza de que, si realmente lo quieren, se pueden recuperar.
