Book Description
Diaries of an Anorexic is a powerful and intimate recovery story detailing the author's seven-year rollercoaster battle with Anorexia Nervosa, a devastating eating disorder. In this heart-wrenching memoir she shares private diary entries from her darkest times and shows how Anorexia took hold of her during her teenage years and kept her tightly in its clutches until early adulthood. While she does not shy away from the harsh reality of eating disorders, the daily routines and protocols of being hospitalised, and almost succumbing to being sectioned under the mental health act, she also hopes this book will aid the recovery of others. Everybody's struggle is unique and personal, but there are often similarities between individuals diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. Athina encourages any sufferers to work towards recovery, and to realise that recovery is possible through making small, consistent changes and building a strong support network. Read this emotional story about Athina's recovery from an eating disorder, an illness from which she never thought she would never be free. Remember that blue skies are coming... the dark clouds will soon disappear, leaving a clear, blue sky.

Book Description
Lydia was 19 years old and enjoying university with a loving family and great friends when she became anorexic. The doctors told her that she would die. This is Lydia's account of what anorexia did to her, how it changed her and how it impacted on her family, friends and all her choices in life. Her story is told through letters and blogs that Lydia wrote at the best and worst of times, notes from her parent s and friends desperately trying to find a way through to her and doctors notes with the horrific exacting details. Lydia is now 23 and 'recovering'. She strongly believes that recovery is possible, and feels she is almost there. She wrote her book to explain her deepest thoughts and to explain the painful mental torture that she endured and overcame. And she wrote it in the hope that others suffering would relate to it, and that other families watching their loved ones will be touched and understand more deeply how an eating disorder really feels.
