Bulimia: A Guide to Recovery

Rating:
Summary: I needed this.
Review: Reading this book was like looking in the mirror and having a good friend by my side at the same time. I can honestly say that, for someone who doesn't believe in earthly magic, I felt transformed. The Three Week Program helped me focus on the positive instead of the negative, and now I feel like all the things that program said I was-happy, proud, active, loving, and laughing. I wanted this so badly.

Summary: not a way out
Review: the book gives good ideas about "what to do instead of a bing" but provides no guidelines...it is incoherent, it at the border of psychobabble...i did not like it at all!!!!!!!
Other self help book, written by doctors are much much more useful !!!!!

Summary: Not impressed!
Review: This book gives a comprehensive list of things to do instead of binging, but I think the average person can think of those things by themselves, just because we're bulimic doesn't mean we're stupid! The authors don't give any useful techniques for overcoming bulimia, besides writing about it in a journal? wtf? Since when does writing out your feelings in a journal make you want to quit your bulimic habits?
I would reccomend the Remuda Ranch to any serious bulimic, save your money for psychotherapy and don't buy this book.

Summary: you can change your life!
Review: This book leapt out at me at the bookstore 12 days ago. I bought it at a time when I was binging/purging several times daily and I was beginning to feel that I could never stop. I hated myself and what my life was all about. Although this book and its message takes real effort and commitment, it really worked for me! I am now 12 days into the program and have not binged for the entire 12 days. It hasn't always been easy, but this book offers great, practical advice (such as "things to do instead of binging" sections for each day). I like that the authors really focus on trying to accept your body and self the way it is, understanding that, for the bulimic, food is not really the problem. Please, if you are feeling desparate and like you have nowhere to turn, buy this book and give it a try. You are worthwhile and you can do it!

Summary: Soooo Helpful
Review: To any of you out there who are looking for a way out, TRY THIS!! I have tried lots of things, even therapy, but nothing has worked as well as this book. Especially helpful for those who need structure. Provides a day by day 3 week guide to stoping the binge/purge cycle. I found it extremely helpful.
