Reading this book at four years recovered from my eating disorder was the clarity and practical guidance I needed. At that point in my recovery, I was feeling strong and almost back to normal but not completely solid. This book reminded me that recovery is possible and gave me great tools for when I can feel myself slip into ED habits. I'm very glad to have this book on my shelf. --Emy Authier, struggled with anorexia As someone with personal and professional eating disorder experience, this book is an invaluable resource. It should be required reading in schools, and in the hands of everyone! --Brittany Burgunder, struggled with a long-term eating disorder and author of Safety in Numbers Permission To Eat is geared toward the college-age student, but applicable to all. It is factual but not preachy. It felt like I was sitting there listening to a peer talk to me about the various issues. I know the readers will find this to be true. --Dr. Pamela Parker, MD, FACOG, FAAFP, DIMP
