For individuals: The 18 stories here share the struggle individuals face, and the relief they find kwing they are t alone. The voice of diabulimia is finally heard! The chapter Nutrition and Diabulimia is designed to help those searching for a healthy, safe means of weight loss. For families and friends: Be encouraged and relieved to find recovery is possible through the multilayered treatment this book outlines. Learn how to recognize and circumvent the desperate ploys individuals with diabulimia use as subterfuge to avoid weight gain, and be better equipped to help them.
