• Sommario/riassunto: The book looks at people who are living with the disorder, shedding new light on the day-to-day struggle of coping with bulimia. It challenges the stereotypical image of the bulimic teenage girl, revealing that it affects a far wider range of people, and dispelling the myth that bingeing involves only food and purging involves only vomiting.
