Fighting for Life: Anorexia the Road to Recovery
|
This compelling story takes us inside the mind, heart and body of a teenage girl suffering from anorexia nervosa, a disorder which is incredibly difficult for both the victim and those close to her to understand, and very complex in its treatment. It tells the story of 15 year old Tracy and explores the different and shocking ways in which the illness takes over her life. It details her inner struggle and personal torment as she desperately fights the powerful monster that is anorexia, and the tragic effects this has on her family environment. The book is a fictionalised account of the author's own experiences and has been written to help people to understand the mind of the anorexic and to cope with behavioral patterns.

Proceeds from Fighting for Life go towards continuing the
fight - helping others to understand and increasing the awareness of the harsh reality
of disordered eating. Specifically, funding this site so I am able to help
people like you, to see how truly devastating eating disorders are, and to try with
all my heart, to put an end to the suffering through sharing my own experience, and
providing information. Proceeds will also be donated to organisations such as the
Eating Disorders Foundation Inc. to allow them
to continue to provide telephone counselling and support groups, to further help
sufferers and their families and friends.

The reason I wrote this book, was to help those suffering and those close to them, understand what it is like for someone who is suffering from an eating disorder and trapped inside the world of disordered eating. Fighting for Life is a fictionalised account of my own battle with anorexia, and tells the story from within the mindset of a teenager, from onset of anorexia, to the point where recovery begins. I believe this gives a powerful insight into the dynamics of anorexia nervosa, as well as how the sufferer is feeling, what she is thinking, how she perceives her world of darkness and destruction and why she is powerless to allow others to help her climb out of the black hole she so fiercely protects.The story is a powerful account of the process of anorexia, including how the family unit is effected, how the victim is oblivious to what is really happening to her until she is powerless to stop it, and the tragic effect this has on her young life.
