ARRIVE WITH HOPE - LEAVE WITH STRENGTH

Hope with Eating Disorders By Lynn Crilly

SYNOPSIS

When we discuss eating disorders, there’s a tendency to focus on the

sufferer. Yet there are millions of concerned parents, carers, friends and

relatives throughout the world who are confused and frustrated - Both by their

own personal circumstances, and by the abundance of potentially misleading

information that is out there. Hope with Eating Disorders is a must-read for

anyone concerned about a loved one with food

or body issues.

Hope with Eating Disorders is a uniquely optimistic and informative guide,

in times when the outlook on health and body image can seem increasingly

bleak. It first offers real understanding of the mind-set of someone with an

eating disorder or body confidence issue. It then provides an extensive, easily

comprehensible and unbiased description of the various treatments available.

The book emphasises that eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless

of age, gender, race or social background. It does not apportion blame, but

offers practical solutions.

Hope with Eating Disorders features interviews with some of the World’s leading experts in the field. It also features celebrity

interviews, giving a crucial insight into the pressures faced by a sector of society who are often blamed for body insecurities.

Most importantly, however, Hope with Eating Disorders sends the message that real, full and lasting recovery is possible,

despite what we are so often told.

From body confidence concerns, overeating, compulsive exercise, diet pill addiction, issues arising from professional or

amateur sports, anorexia or bulimia, if you are concerned about a friend, relative or colleague, this book will answer the

frequently asked question - What can I do?

“As a parent, I feel Lynn’s book is an essential guide and support for anyone concerned about their son’s or daughter’s

eating habbits, self esteem and general well being.” Bobby Davro

“As a former sufferer myself of what is still considered a bit of a taboo subject, I found this book delivers information in a

friendly, easy to understand way, making you want to read on.” Suzanne Dando

“Now and again you meet someone special. Someone who’s care and generosity sets out to make a genuine difference.

Lynn is one such person.” Steve Blacknell

“The need to understand and help has led Lynn to explore a wide variety of perspectives on this illness. This book is a

shared tool to make progress towards prevention and healing.” Janet Treasure

“I support Lynn with her book as it will make people more aware of eating disorders and the impact they have not only on the

person directly affected but also their family and friends.” John Stapleton
