An Apple a Day: A Memoir of Love and Recovery from Anorexia Book

I haven't tasted chocolate for over ten years and now I'm walking down the street unwrapping a Kit Kat. Remember when Kate Moss said 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'? She's wrong: chocolate does. At the age of 32 after ten years of hiding from the truth Emma Woolf finally decided it was time to face the biggest challenge of her life. Addicted to hunger exercise and control she was juggling a full-blown eating disorder with a successful career functioning on an apple a day. Having met the man of her dreams (and wanting a future and a baby together) she embarked on the hardest struggle of all: to beat anorexia. It was time to start eating again to regain her fertility and her curves to throw out the size-zero clothes and face her food fears. And as if that wasn't enough pressure Emma took the decision to write about her progress in a weekly column for "The Times". Honest hard hitting and yet romantic "An Apple a Day" is a manifesto for the modern generation to stop starving and start living.This compelling life-affirming true story is essential reading for anyone affected by eating disorders (whether as a sufferer or carer) anyone interested in health and social issues - and for medical and health professionals.
