The Weight-Loss Diaries [Paperback] Review

The Weight-Loss Diaries [Paperback]I couldn't put this book down. The people who left bad reviews apparently have no clue what it is to battle an eating disorder.
The words like "stop blaming your parents and just take responsibility and stop eating" make me realize that:
a) Lots of people have no clue that our behaviors come from our parents.
b) It's easy to say "stop eating".... It's like telling a drug addict to stop doing drugs.
c) Yes, for us ( people with eating disorders, who were taught to always be good and given high, very high standards to follow)food IS a drug of choice. We couldn't show up at home drunk nor stoned for the fear of our parents, but we definitely could show up full of food.
Well, take it as it is. I loved the book. This book made me take a look at myself from the side. Yes, this book made changes in my life and NO, it didn't make me think that i am free to eat or do what i want and don't have take responsibility for my actions.

Product Description:
From Shape magazine's popular "Weight-Loss Diary" columnist comes a hilarious, sometimes heartwrenching look at the daily struggle of dieting
In this frank and funny book, Courtney Rubin shares what she learned about dieting--and herself--in more than two years of chronicling her battle to keep food from consuming her life. As engaging as her famous column, The Weight-Loss Diaries is part memoir, part how-to, and always entertaining.
An honest and brave account of what it feels like, day in and day out, often year in and year out, to try to lose a significant amount of weight, The Weight-Loss Diaries is:

    An unashamed tale of binges, fashion fiascos, setbacks, and ultimate success
    A light-hearted, laugh-out-loud look at the most ridiculous excuses for ending or cheating on a diet
    A no-holds-barred account of the author's dark days of flirting with eating disorders and constantly calculating and recalculating calories
With insight, humor, and courage, Rubin explores diet and food issues, as well as her self-sabotaging habits during dieting, in ways that everyone struggling with weight loss will find both instructive and inspiring.
Courtney Rubin has written for the New York Times, Marie Claire, Time, and other publications. For two years, she wrote the "Weight-Loss Diary" column for Shape magazine. Formerly a senior writer at Washingtonian magazine, Rubin is now a correspondent based in London for People.
