As with any addiction, you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just cannot control yourself. It's as if someone else is calling the shots.

You're a brave woman to read something like this. I always have a hard time with books about eating disorders. The girls who suffer from them usually have underlying issues. I always want to just reach out and tell them how beautiful they are but I know that doesn't really help. Great review. It just seems like... a tough read. You’re caught up on your review!
