this woman is truly insane, makes being nuts fun
I really have to say that this was a very unique book. This woman is funny, she has a lot to give, she does not sugar coat things in the least. She gives a realistic discription of life with bulimia, and does not try to wrap things up in a nice perfect package. There is no sugar coating. This woman is plain and simple crazy, but at least she admits it, is not ashamed of it , and does not make excuses. She is like the typical eating disorder patient. They really do to an extent enjoy the disease. I loved the fact that she slammed the insurance companies. This should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand more about the disease.

Incredible!
As a mother of three teen-age daughters and someone who has had no experience with eating disorders, this incredible tale of a bulimic mother was a true eye-opener. I encouraged my daughters to read it and after doing so, we were able to have some healthy, honest discussions regarding eating and body-image issues. Ms. Krikorian's raw, honest account of her struggle with bulimia is an inspiring story. I wish her the strength she needs to control this disorder and the hope for a possible recovery.

A Great Read!
I first came across this book in a mothers club. I had heard through my playgroup that she (the author) was in the local papers and believe it or not in the same mothers club! Out of curiosity I read her book, and as a person I was appalled (however the woman in me somehow understood), as a mother I was mortified. How could she do this!? The answer - bulimia. Here is a all guts no glory book of a person, caught up in an estranged disorder. Linda K. recounts moments in her life that could only be fulfilled through bulimia. This book gives people a REAL insight to the real world of bulimia, I applaud her courage.
