As someone who has a bit of a history with EDs, I was starting to read Marya Hornbacher's [Wasted] (http://www.amazon.com/Wasted-Memoir-Anorexia-Bulimia-P-S/dp/B003JTHRBO) when I came across the following quote. I totally changed my perspective on why EDs are more common today, why I had my run with it, and that being someone obsessed with basically making myself disappear wasn't healthy in any way. Also that I was stronger than that; my value has to do with who I am, not my waist measurements. It just really got me thinking.
Here's the quote:
"That is, to me, a far cry better than once upon a time, when it and I shared a bed, a brain, a body, when my sense of worth was entirely contingent upon my ability to starve. A strange equation, and an altogether too-common belief: One's worth is exponentially increased with one's incremental disappearance."
This and a used copy of this. Thank you for the contest!
Bibliophile. Taking this picture made me realize how badly I need to clean and re-organize that shelf. Anyway. That top row is DVDs, so disregard that. Next is true crime books (I'm a major true crime junkie), and the bottom row is anything that isn't true crime. I used to have a ton more books, but I think a lot are at my moms, or lost to various moves over the years.
As far as recommendations, I love Wasted by Marya Hornbacher. It's a very good but heavy read.
