Unbearable Lightness: a story of loss and gain by Portia de Rossi

Although this is very much an adult story, weight conciousness is something that beings very young. This very frank account of her eating disorder that ruled her life for decades relates her years of anorexia, bulemia and overexercising, the trouble they caused her and how she is healing. Not healed, by any means. She quite openly admits that she's still struggling and dealing with issues.

Eating disorders aren't pretty. Portia de Rossi doesn't glamourise her years of struggle, but rather relates the horrors she lives from eating only a tablespoon of tuna to the fear experienced by her loved ones when they realize that she weighs only 82 pounds and is very likely to die.

I hope this book finds the hands of a young person who is struggling and helps them on their road to healing.
