Hope With Eating Disorders is a book of supportive ways to help patients and their families deal with the darkness of eating disorders and come into the light.

A tough topic, this is a thoughtful book on the subject

Overall I feel like this book is well written. There are many examples from those that struggled with eating disorders as well as family members and friends. I myself am I food addict and I have found there are not many books that discuss food addiction/binge eating/overeating. I am happy to say that this book isn't one that skips it. Although this book is meant for caregivers, friends, and family I found that it was helpful for myself as well. It definitely made me feel like I wasn't alone and gave me some strategies for what I can say to those that love me. I feel like this is a great book for those that know someone struggling with an eating disorder.

Good book about a family and the eating disorder that tried to take over. Also, the unconventional ways of responding to the eating disorders that affect the person plagued with it. Understanding it’s not the person but the disorder we are dealing with. Well written and full of information.

Lynn Crilly is giving families a look into their struggle and what they found along the way.

This isn't for someone who is struggling due to the fact most already know the information and second the have to choose to change.

The author uses the same information that almost every single book discussing eating disorders. Why it starts, how it starts and the fact that those struggling with an eating disorder they don't see what others who love them see.

Hope with Eating Disorders will give reader insight with other who have struggle with the addiction giving readers knowledge that they are not alone in the struggle.

Personal feelings:

I don't agree with eating disorders are not a life sentence and that a full and complete recovery is possible. As someone who has struggled with an Eating Disorder since I was 12 years old I think you don't overcome or recovery but you learn how to cope better in life. It isn't a life sentence but it is something that can come back to life when a person least expects it. It is an addiction.
