Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome Harvard Medical School’s Jennifer Thomas and bestselling author and motivational speaker Jenni Schaefer for a discussion of their book, Almost Anorexic: Is My (or My Loved One’s) Relationship with Food a Problem?.
Millions of men and women struggle with disordered eating. Some stand at the mirror wondering how they can face the day when they look so fat. Others binge, purge, or exercise compulsively. Many skip meals, go on diet after diet, or cut out entire food groups. Still, they are never thin enough.
While 1 in 200 adults have experienced full-blown anorexia, at least 1 in 20 (1 in 10 teen girls!) have exhibited some key symptoms. Many suffer from the effects but never address the issue because they don’t fully meet the diagnostic criteria. If this is the case for you, then you may be “almost anorexic.” Drawing on case studies and the latest research, Almost Anorexiccombines a psychologist’s clinical experience with a patient’s personal recovery story to help readers understand and overcome almost anorexia.
