Description
Eating disorders know no boundaries. They don't discriminate. This powerful anthology brings together thirty-one stories of living with an eating disorder, each tackling stereotypes and misconceptions about what eating disorders look like and who they impact.
From athletes to activists, directors to models, health professionals to individuals from diverse backgrounds, these writers share their experiences of eating disorders, including binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, ARFID and OSFED. They highlight the complexities of how race, gender, culture and social media can influence our experiences of body and food.
Compiled by Dr Chukwuemeka Nwuba and TikToker Bailey Spinn, this anthology is one of hope and encouragement for anyone who feels misunderstood and underrepresented. It's a stirring collection that will resonate with those seeking to understand eating disorders in all their complexity.
