TO THE READER SURVIVING AN EATING DISORDER

This book is about a journey to recovery, hence the title Road to the Rainbow.

It begins with my past, and describes events in my life and how they led to the development of eating disorders.

Road to the Rainbow is not about recovery from any specific disorder. I have been, through the years, an overeater, an anorexic and a bulimic, switching from one to the other. What I have recovered from has been the obsession with weight and food. I have learned about the connection between what was going on in my life and these obsessions, and I’ve learned that there are better ways to deal with emotional issues. So, this story is about recovery and how I returned to a normal, balanced life.

I explore a number of treatments that helped me to overcome the disease. Some methods were traditional, some not, but they included the exploration of relationships and the importance of a solid support system. In addition, I discuss the importance of journaling, sleep and environment.

Is the book a gripping edge-of-your-seat page turner? A quick fix handy reference to recovery? No. It is a story that is real, honest and truthful.

I have written this book because I am now fully recovered. My eating disorders are over.

Inside you’ll find my heart, my soul, my recovery and my gift of hope for you.

Above all, there is hope.
