Posted Sun Aug 8th, 2010 11:59am Post subject: My 3rd book is out!
I posted about it on my sticky but in case you miss it my new book, REFLECTIVE REFLECTIONS: THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE BOOK ON EATING DISORDERS IS NOW OUT!
It does exactly what it says on the tin. In a no nonsense, no waffle way, through personal experience and extensive research delves into the world of all eating disorders and spits out the truth. It's only a tenner plus P&P. If you want more info see my web page: http://www.katysaraculling.com/reflectivereflections.htm
Here is a quote from the start of the book:
In our Western world of plenty, the constraining, tangible corsets of days-gone-by have been replaced by a new, metaphorical corset of the mind. Men and women, all of whom suffer from extreme low self-esteem and lack of validation, find themselves living out each day of their life, overwhelmed with issues of food, weight, size, self-hatred, illness, anxiety, anger, guilt, control and fear. Eating disorders are a symptom of deep emotional distress, which entrap sufferers and create new problems of their own. Societally, dieting is rife. Value judgements based on a person’s size are copious, and seemingly up for discussion without any understanding of any possible underlying issues. Few illnesses inspire such misunderstanding, despair and frustration, (for all involved), as do eating disorders. Few illnesses are awarded such warped attention in the media; or are claimed to be “lifestyle choices” by some of those afflicted.
Here am I all proud holding my 3 books:

Congrats and cheers to you KS!!!!
When my parents divorced I was 17 and my mom became anorexic and bulemic. She is 6 feet tall and weighed a mere 125lbs. She measured her success by how many times she could wrap her bathrobe around herself.
She came out of it somehow. Friends started commenting to her when they went out to eat. She would either pretend to eat and hide it in her napkin when she thought no one was paying attention. And if she did eat they noticed how she excused herself right away to the bathroom. A friend decided to go in the bathroom after her one time and sure enough heard my mom vomiting.
I did not live with her during that time, I was with my dad. These are just a few things about the ordeal she has told me about.

Sorry to hear your mum suffered like that, but full recovery is possible - I am proof of this. I even did the napkin thing!

I would like to add I will buy this new book too - got to keep my new KS collection up to date. Have to wait till business starts paying it's way or my benefits kick in.
I still have Dark Clouds Gather on my bedside table even though I have finished. Refer to it when I need a boost.
