I Don't Understand Why My Friend or Sorority Sister Has An Eating Disorder.....

It's heartbreaking to watch someone whom we care about struggle with a disorder that is hard for us to understand.  'I just don't understand why she (or he) doesn't eat?'  is a common quote that our director hears while she is on the road.

A resource that we recommend for individuals to read while a loved one is in treatment (currently or in the past) is the book 'Life Without Ed.' by Jenni Schaefer.  Live without Ed will give you insight on experiences and feelings of individuals with an eating disorder (past or current).  

(Taken from No Numbers - Greeks Unite Against Eating Disorders).

Please let us know if you have any other suggestions on books.....

    Eating in the Light of the Moon (by Anita A. Johnston PhD.) is really good. My mom and aunt thought it was the best book they have ever read about eating disorders and said it helped them with understanding me more.
