GAINING: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders

GAINING: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders is the first book to "connect the dots," painting a complete picture of the interpersonal, cultural, and biochemical forces that cause – and must be addressed in order to cure – anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Drawing on her own life history, cutting-edge research, and extensive interviews with others who have been recovered for up to thirty years, Aimee Liu offers a retrospective view of life before, during, and after active eating disorders. The stories in this book make it clear that eating disorders have little to do with food or weight -- and everything to do with personality, fear, and shame. They are distress signals that can occur at any age and often recur during periods of stress and loss. Gaining translates these signals into vital insights for individuals and families who have struggled with eating disorders, and for parents who want to safeguard their children.

"This is a ground-breaking work that's a must-read for anyone who has struggled with food or weight but didn't quite understand why." Lori Gottlieb, Author of STICK FIGURE: A DIARY OF MY FORMER SELF
"This book is the most sensitive, insightful, and beautifully crafted connection I have seen of personal experience with what scientists know about eating disorders. It is rich in emotion, understanding of human interaction, and lessons on culture, weight, and eating." Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D., Director, Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders, Yale University
