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 only 1 in 200 adults will
struggle with full-blown anorexia nervosa, at least 1 in 20
(including 1 in 10 teen girls) will exhibit key symptoms of one or
more of the officially recognized DSM eating disorders--anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. 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 Anorexic combines a psychologist's clinical
experience with a patient's personal recovery story to help readers
understand and overcome almost anorexia.Almost Anorexic will give
