Books about bulimia

Just wondered if anyone knew any decent books about bulimia (preferably autobiographical rather than fiction but either is fine) it's just I've read a million and one about anorexia which was all very well when I Was anorexic, but now I can't find any to do with bulimia (that are good and true)

I think I've read every single book ever published about Bulimia.

I can recommend a few tomorrow, but they are very triggering, so be careful before you read/buy.

Wasted by Marya Hornbacher is amazing. The crazy part is that it was published when she was f*cking 23. 23!

It's about her experience with anorexia and bulimia...a bit of compulsive exercizing too.

I admire her a lot....The fact that she wrote it so well and so young...

It is very triggering though, just to warn you.

A good book about anorexia, SI and bulimia (she had anorexia/SI and her best friend was bulimic) is Wintergirls. I'm sorry I don't know anymore, since I don't have an ED myself, it's not as interesting to me.

Diary of a Recovered Bulimic.
It is a straight on diary and hard to read at times, so.

Midnight feast by Martina Evens.

It's fiction and I can't tell you if it's good becasue I've only just got it.




Imperfection is underrated.
