Book of the month

Mealtimes and Milestones: A Teenager's Diary of Moving on from Anorexia, published this month to coincide with Eating Disorders Awareness Week, is a poignant and inspiring real-life account of beating anorexia.

Aged fourteen, schoolgirl Constance Barter was diagnosed with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. She was admitted to a specialist eating disorders hospital unit, where she stayed for seven months. During her time there, she kept a diary, charting her journey of recovery.

Constance's frank and moving account of the challenge of her illness shows how this serious and debilitating condition affects both the sufferer and those close to them. Her recovery will be a source of inspiration and hope for anyone affected by this illness - a testament to how, with perseverance and support, this potentially life-threatening illness can be beaten. 

Praise for Mealtimes and Milestones:

'We want a message of hope - that eating disorders can be beaten - to reach anyone and everyone who needs to hear it. Constance's story is such a powerful part of that message - that hope.' Susan Ringwood, Chief Executive, BEAT (the Eating Disorders Association)
