Empty: A Story of Anorexia door Christie Pettit
Horrible, horrible, horrible. This book reads more like a checklist than a story of recovery from an eating disorder. I don't know if the author was just being evasive or honestly thought she was telling her story - but what I do know is that this book was a waste of time to read, especially if you are desperate for help. She made recovery too easy and too elusive at the same time.
Is this even real? It reads like Christian propaganda about body issues. Certainly I have no problems with Christianity or if someone uses any religion to help recover from a problem, but really.. what is this. The journal entries definitely don't read like any person's real private thoughts and the extra quotes from other girls, what. Your mom suggested you play outside so you develop an eating disorder? I'm trying really hard to not judge, and not just because of the section of the book about God teaching you not to judge, but really. Don't even waste your time. If you are looking for Christianity in eating disorder recovery there must be better options out there.… (meer)
This is actually a story of recovery, rather than the disease. Pettit takes a sincere, Christian approach to her recovery. The book also has quotes in the margins from others struggling with eating disorders.
