Summary: Over It is memorable!
Comment: Over It looks at cultural, emotional & physical reason why girls obsess about weight & eating, then goes on to show how it can be different. Each section guides readers toward understanding their feelings, acknowledging their fears & concerns without judgement & recasting their thoughts & habits toward a healthy self-image & eating patterns.

That said, this is not a dry book of recriminations, self-flagellations & hopeless stories; rather it is an elegant, lively, informative text book that offers you a lot to occupy your mind & a lot of different ways to look at your life.

In Amber's story you learn how compulsive eating can start; you'll see how Bulimia Nervosa took over her mind & took her off on a dangerous detour. Les' story about Anorexia Nervosa tells how it got a hold of her & wrecked her young life. Caro & Laurelee explain both disorders in clear yet clinical descriptions.

There are section about boys & eating disorders & for parents who provide the food for the family & how their lifestyles also contribute.

Carol & Laurelee have founded Beyond Hunger, a nonprofit organization, after recovering from their own eating disorders. Beyond Hunger offers support groups, workshops & education for adults & teen with eating disorders & body image disturbances. Do check out my lively eInterview with Carol & Lauralee - I think you'll be amazed!
