I think this is great that you are focusing on this. I have three teenage daughters myself and image is so important to them. Thank Goodness that they don't have eating disorders, but a lot of our teenage girls struggle with this. A lot of it has to do with control and power, I thought. Maybe I am wrong or perfection.Kudos to you!

I always have kept up on the latest w/Tracey Gold and her anorexia. I, too, can relate to what she went through (not in the spotlight sense). I used to always admire her when I was going through my ed, but there's more than the ed. Tracey Gold is a strong mentor to look up to when you are struggling to survive and trying to beat an ed. She is something like of a person I can look up to and say,'There is a way out and a life after having and struggling w/an ed.' There is a lot of 'ROOM TO GROW'!-- posted by darlie73
» chrissybabby - Tracy really is an inspiration to me...
Hello. None of you know me because this is my first post here. I just want to say that to me Tracy really is one of the biggest inspirations to me. I am currently 16 and am fighting myself a battle with anorexia and some bulimia also. I guess that unless you know what it is like you never will understand how hard it is to fight this off. " just eat something" they say. Well if it was that easy i would " just eat something" but I cant just eat something. I may not be diagnosed with anorexia considering I am not yet really underweight and I haven't bee to a doctor in almost 3 years but I know deep down that I have a problem and I need to fight it off before it is to late. For now I don't have the courage to tell anyone or to fight it off but to know that Tracy fought her eating disorder away gives me hope that maybe one day I will have the courage to come forth and fight this off and maybe I to could one day help someone like me and let my story be knows. But for now I am not ready but I still keep in my grip the hope that one day I will be able to fight this off.-- posted by chrissybabby

It is truley a great book. People who suffer from an ED may benifit from this book because it is so insprirational.I have come very close to having an ED of my own, maybe I have had a minor ED but reading this book helps put things in a clearer way a little easier.-- posted by baby100
