Winning My Battle With Eating Disorders
Finding My FULL This is my journey from starving to letting myself be FULL–physically emotionally. What is living a FULL life? Having anorexia, bulimia, or vacillating between the two, you are trying to achieve an empty feeling through starvation or purging. Living a FULL life is a life where you aren’t starving anymore―starving for acceptance and love from others and yourself. It’s a life where you are feeding your mind and soul with good thoughts and foods. A life without your eating disorder.
Victim of the eating disorder monster Imagine waking in a hospital bed to find your frail, pale arm punctured by an IV transferring fluids and nutrients into your weak, stiff body. What happened? You’re an adult, age twenty-six, and you just had a seizure precipitated by your chronic, secretive, decades-long struggle with unacknowledged eating disorders. You have no friends and no normal young-adult experiences. Living FULL is written by Danielle Sherman-Lazar, a woman who passed through the eating disorder crucible to recovery, sharing the most intimate and shameful details of her mental illness. Living FULL is Danielle's story.
Hidden out of shame Eating disorders in young adults are hardly talked about, but are pervasive. Eating disorders are kept hidden out of shame. A groundbreaking 2012 study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders found that about 13 percent of women over age 50 exhibit eating disorder symptoms.
Journey to recovery Living FULL chronicles the author's step-by-step descent into the full-blown eating disorder nightmare and her path to recovery. Recovery comes from the Maudsley Approach, a regimen of supervised controlled eating or refeeding by out-patient helpers that eventually can result in recovery.

"This book is amazing. I don’t personally have an eating disorder, but eating disorders have touched my family- that is why I wanted to read this.
I was able to hear about the emotional struggles of different mental illnesses, which helps me to better understand others. Since eating disorders have a hereditary component, I also appreciate the insight for my kids, as well.
It’s so well written. I laughed, I cried, and I did everything in between. I highly recommend!"

- This book is amazing. I don’t personally have an eating disorder, but eating disorders have touched my family- that is why I wanted to read this.
I was able to hear about the emotional struggles of different mental illnesses, which helps me to better understand others. Since eating disorders have a hereditary component, I also appreciate the insight for my kids, as well.
It’s so well written. I laughed, I cried, and I did everything in between. I highly recommend! - An incredibly well written book that shows hope exists even when you are in the darkest place. As both a woman and now a mom, I am so grateful to have this perspective.
- Danielle shares so openly about her battle with an eating disorder and her journey to recovery. Her memoir is a detailed account of her history with anorexia and bulimia, and what it took for her to overcome both.
It is chilling to read about the abuse caused by anorexia that Danielle's mind and body endured. She writes, "I thought I would be a burden, especially if I got the help I needed... My behaviors were so entrenched that, in my mind, I was the problem." I grieved for her when she hit rock bottom, close to death, and cheered her on when she reached out for help.
I think this is a story about family, too. Her parents were instrumental in her healing process and Danielle writes about the ups and downs of going through her treatment together. Now she has a family of her own and continues to help others by sharing her experiences. - Living FULL is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what it is like for someone with an eating disorder. The author, Danielle Sherman-Lazar, lived through years of severely disordered eating. She describes her journey in harrowing detail, giving us true insight into the thought-patterns of someone suffering from anorexia, as well as bulimia. In the second half of the book, she chronicles her way to recovery and understanding who she truly is for the first time. Her strength and bravery in both her journey and sharing this story is incredible. The book could be incredibly valuable to those who want to heard stories of others who have been on the same journey (although people who are triggered by descriptions of behaviors may want to skip parts in the first half) as well as those struggling to understand what a loved one is going through.
- Particularly as a mom of three daughters, at times this book was difficult to read. (Yes, I know boys have eating disorders too, but girls seem more susceptible.) Despite this, I believe that this book should be on every family’s bookshelf. Written as a narrative from Danielle’s younger self, interspersed with excerpts from a blog she started while in recovery, it will help both individuals in the depths of an eating disorder and their parents feel that they are not alone.
This is not an academic book on anorexia and bulimia (she was diagnosed with both), but a brave recounting of a young woman’s journey. Seeing life through her eyes can help other parents realize this can happen in any family. It is apparently quite easy for a teen to avoid eating or to “cleanse†their body without parents noticing.
While the details are frightening at times, we are left with hope and the sense that, while not guaranteed, full recovery is possible. - Danielle has poured her soul into her book, taking the reader on her battle with eating disorders. She unravels each experience with how the illness taught her to starve herself, and purge. Most importantly she writes how she overcame anorexia and bulimia. For one who has not experienced eating disorders, you may have a friend or family experiencing it. Danielle's experience with eating disorders is heartbreaking, yet an absolute triumph. She is a woman warrior who had an empty life during her eating disorder years, and overcame it through professional care, self worth and her life was full of love and life again.
I have experienced eating disorders personally so to read Danielle's story is very close to my heart.
However this book is not just for other people experiencing or recovering from ED's.
This book is pertinent for all to read, including health care professionals. - This book is Danielle's journey to and through eating disorder. Anyone on this particular journey will benefit from her story. More than anything, I was overwhelmed with how brave Danielle was to write this story down and share it with the world - there is so much rawness and humanness in these pages that it is uncomfortable at times, but just the right amount of uncomfortable. I know this book is going to be like a friend to those who are healing from ED. Thank you Danielle for being persistent enough to write it and brave enough to share it.
- The author's heart is poured into the pages of this book, as she uses her own story to help others better understand an issue not often discussed.
The story is told through a relatable character (the author) who finds herself in the downward spiral of an eating disorder.
For me, it provided much needed insight into a loved one's situation. For others, I truly believe it will be a beacon hope into what might seem like an impossible situation. For absolutely anyone, this book is a page turner and enjoyable to read.
