Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had a history of depression and binge eating that dates back to when I was a child. I would spend days confined inside my house while my parents remodeled it, and I would eat an entire package of Oreo cookies in one sitting.
#2 I was overweight in childhood, and I was constantly called names like Moose and Fatso. The worst part was the verbal abuse, which was just as bad as the nonstop sugar overload on my developing brain.
#3 I spent my senior year of high school in a hospital bed, suffering from an eating disorder. I was admitted because a doctor was concerned that I might have diabetes because a recent eye exam had revealed a significant change in my vision.
#4 I had a low thyroid level, anorexia nervosa, and depression after the hospitalization. My chronic self-deprivation of nutrients and calories, combined with my low body weight and mounting inner turmoil, eventually triggered depression.
