Have you struggled with a loss of appetite for several months now? Do you remember the last time you ate without thinking about a scale? When was the last time you looked in the mirror without grimacing? I can help you.

This book is dedicated to those suffering with an eating disorder called anorexia nervosa. I am writing based on my experience with the disease. The personal accounts within this book can aid in identifying and overcoming this disorder. This book can help you to see the beautiful girl in the mirror, regain your appetite, and begin talking about your feelings without fear of judgment.

Eating disorders can take their toll on you, your relationships, and your life. I have written this book as a guide for you to be able to find an outlet for your thoughts, coping mechanisms for your stress and a way forward in your daily interactions with family, friends, and peers.

It is important to understand, this disease is not attention seeking, but instead a reaction to over-attentive environments. This guide serves to help navigate the daily pressures so many young women are under in their everyday lives.

Within Cutting Yourself on the Inside, you will discover:

• Ways to improve your self-esteem through self-reflection
• Tips to eat full meals three times a day without feeling guilty

Very grateful for this book

As a mentor of several teenaged girls I am very grateful for this book. I feel a lot more confident looking out for signs that the teens in my care and organization are harming themselves. Adolescence is such a precarious time in one's life. Knowing how to respond to someone in need is a powerful skill. I will be consulting this audiobook in the future for sure.

Thoughtful, compassionate, useful

Bought this for a friend's daughter who has been struggling with issues of self image, particularly around her weight. According to my friend, she's really been listening a ton, and is just sounding more optimistic about her life, and self image. Thank you!

Heavy subject - great content

This subject is near and dear to my heart so I went into this audiobook pretty skeptical, but wow, it delivered.

The information provided was thoughtful, helpful and exactly the type of thing that we need with this subject matter. Absolutely recommend.

Highly recommend!

This is a tough subject to cover and has been done so passionately and considerately. While targeted at young teenage women it provides some very grounding strategies for anyone dealing with anorexia. I would highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they or their child may be suffering this way.

you're not alone

In this heartfelt exploration of teens struggling with anorexia, the author identifies the physical, behavioral, and emotional dangers that accompany this serious mental health condition. Anorexia can manifest physically through significant weight loss, fatigue, and severe malnutrition. Behaviorally, it often involves extreme food restriction, excessive exercise, and a preoccupation with body image. Emotionally, sufferers may experience intense feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, and depression. The narrative dispels the myth that anyone chooses to have anorexia, emphasizing that it is a complex disorder that requires compassion and understanding.

Despite the challenges, the book focuses on the positive, highlighting that recovery is possible and that it is okay not to be okay. The author encourages readers to seek help and lean on their support systems, showcasing inspiring stories of teens who have found strength and healing through therapy, family, and friends. The message is clear: while anorexia is a difficult journey, acknowledging the struggle and seeking support can lead to a brighter, healthier future.
