Women Afraid to Eat
by Frances Berg, MS
www.healthyweightnetwork.com

"Francie does a superb job of pulling together the facts to help women reaffirm that they can be healthy at any size. I am pleased to see the message of health at any size brought forward and the effects of the diet industry exposed in Women Afraid to Eat. The book is effective in promoting the movement of health at any size making the case for choosing the freedom paradigm versus the control paradigm by contrasting the two and setting forth the facts needed to plant the seeds for change."
Linda Omichinski, RD

At last a book that challenges America's obsession with thinness and documents its profound mental and physical effects on women. Women Afraid to Eat: breaking free in today's weight-obsessed world examines the ways this obsession consumes women, shatters their lives, even kills. It's a preoccupation that dims their joy, their curiosity, their energy and their sense of what's normal. It intensifies women's four major weight and eating problems -- eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, size prejudice and overweight, all on the rise in modern society.

A new approach is needed. This book issues an urgent warning call to stop today's destructive policies, and it gives clear guidelines on how women can make clear, simple, and meaningful changes to enhance their own health and well-being, and that of the people they work with. A valuable reference for health professionals in the Afraid to Eat series.

My name is Keisha Burton, and I am a recovering anorexic and bulimic. I created my website to raise money to self--publish my young adult fiction novel A Body to Die For, the journal of a young woman with the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia. My book is based on research and my own experience with the eating disorders. It was written with the hope of helping young women who are battling the eating disorders, know someone who is, or to simply help women better understand the eating disorders by inviting them into the life of a severe anorexic and bulimic and allowing them to read the intimate day-to-day events and thought processes of someone with the eating disorders.

Through my book I hope to save the lives of many young women suffering with anorexia and bulimia. Please help me to do so by visiting my website

The National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) is a Toronto-based, non-profit organization, established in 1985 to provide information and resources on eating disorders and weight preoccupation.
NEDIC began as a result of the concerted efforts of a group of health-care providers. Based on a national needs-assessment undertaken in 1983 by the Health League of Canada, a proposal was made for initial funding of an information centre which would focus on eating disorders and socio-cultural factors influencing the health-related behaviour of women.
