DESCRIPTION:
This account of her gradual recognition of the problem and her recovery, with the support of a group, is a compelling personal narrative for those who can identify. Early on she developed disordered eating patterns that led from compulsive dieting and binging through addiction to exercise, anorexia, drug abuse, shoplifting, and bulemia, none of which seems to have interfered with her academic achievements, competitive swimming, marriage, or public relations career.
