This book makes me so mad.
Renfrew is a horrible treatment center. I can't
even believe the people running that place are
professionals. Those poor girls that go there.
You can't blame them for getting worse after
they leave. They go their for help and don't get
it, and then become more hopeless. It is so sad there
are places out their like this- SO many of them!
I feel so blessed and fortunate to have gotten the
treatment I got- at one of the best treatment centers
in the world.
The professionals in this book don't have a clue what
they are doing. Grrrrr...
AND Lauren portrays eating disorders as if they are only
about losing weight, being skinny blah blah blah....THAT
IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICE BURG. And I dont' think the
professionals at the treatments center in this book even
realize that; that is why this book is such a problem.
It only feeds into the idea that ED's are all about food,
weight, vanity, etc. BUT THAT IS SO WRONG!!! If you are
looking to learn more about ED's from this book, you will
not learn the truth behind ED's.
AND you can not put a face (or body for that matter) on
an Eating Disorder! MANY people with ED's are at an
average, or even above average weight. Although some
people are emaciated, that is very often not the case.

These are a few stories. No one should be led to believe that it's everyone's experience and i don't think it's the writer's responsibility to include stories that she doesn't feel necrssary to her work.
