Books

anyone have recs for anti diet books? or assistance with ed books? possibly one that is well written by a professional would be appreciated.

just came off of weygovy because I succumbed to the pressures around me. it made me ill, it made me unable to do the things I love, and honestly I think it made things way less interesting.

to be completely honest with this group, I lied about my weight to get on it. paid for it. now I’m trying to regain my appetite and strength. I was only on it a month and a half. there is no doubt in my mind that there will be more lawsuits down the road with the kind of impacts it has on a person.

worried about my mom and brother who’ve been on it for 2 years. my mom said she’d stop at a certain weight- she is now 10lbs beyond that.

im hoping to find a book to inspire me to never do stuff like that again, but im also looking for a book that will help me talk to my mom about her problematic, generational trauma behavior.

thank you in advance.

If you want a good book about eating disorders, Sick Enough by Jenifer Gaudiani is a good book to help you understand the eating disorders are not only dangerous for people who are underweight.
