In 1985, at the age of thirteen, I began my first diet. I didn't like the girl I saw in the mirror. But what started as a diet quickly turned into an obsession, leading me into a dangerous eating disorder called anorexia nervosa. Without professional treatment, I remained trapped in a toxic relationship with food and my body for over three decades. By the age of 45, I had developed a new disorder: binge-eating disorder. I kept it buried beneath immense shame and self-loathing for nearly five years ... until therapy changed everything. This emotionally raw, true story takes you on an inspiring journey to healing and acceptance along with me – a woman once known as Belly.
