July 25, 2004 (Press Release) --
The whole book is in the first person and it draws the reader through every experience as if they were travelling that road themselves. It gives a detailed and emotional insight into eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and compulsive overeating, as well as clinical depression and the long term after effects of a traumatic childhood. It will help those who are going through any of the traumas that Anne experienced, as well as helping their families, friends and the medical professionals involved comprehend what are often very misunderstood illnesses.
(PRWEB) July 25, 2004 -- Excerpt from the book.....(Chapter Four; Page 102) EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND FOOD.
"Food is truly the epicentre of my whole existence, although I hate to admit it, and every last situation that I encounter gets related in some way back to my food or my weight, however twisted it may seem.
My mind is never at peace and I am bombarded constantly with voices in my head telling me what to do and how to behave. I never usually question these voices at all. I simply eat when they tell me to eat, try not to eat when they want me to starve, try to get rid of the food when they say I should…Anything at all to still them for a little while – but I never really ask why or even think of fighting back at them. It would be so very hard and I find it a whole lot easier just to give in and do as they say. It’s far less painful that way.
Today is the first time I can really remember listening to those voices and answering them back - asking just what this is all about and WHY I do what I do….."
About the author……."Anne Beattie was born in England in 1961 and was abandoned by her parents in a railway station at the age of seven months. Adopted by her grandparents and raised in a troubled family, she developed anorexia nervosa at the age of sixteen, and bulimia nervosa, compulsive overeating and depression over the following years. She struggled alone through her illnesses and developed a way of coping with life that has enriched her life and hopefully the lives of others. This story shows how the seeds of the eating disorders were sown, details her fight to overcome them all and is a story of hope for all those who fight similar battles.
Anne lives in Newcastle, England, with her 15 year old daughter, Catherine. At present she is not working as she has been home schooling her daughter for the past three years.
