Personal Review: Regaining Your Self: Breaking Free From the
Eating Disorder Identity: A Bold New Approach by Sheila Buff
As a person who suffered from anorexia and bulimia in my younger years,
I find Dr. Ira Sacker's book on eating disorders wonderful. It contains
powerful information to help sufferers of eating disorders gain insight on
their condition and heal themselves.
According to the author one of the factors that trigger anorexia are the
judgments that one has on oneself, the belief that one is "not" perfect and
the quest for never attainable perfection. The persons afflicted with the
disease are plagued with the idea that they are flawed and that life will only
get better when they reach an ideal weight.
This "cursed" way of thinking is not only symptomatic of people who suffer
from an eating disorder. For me, what made all the difference was finding
a place of acceptance of myself where I stopped working on myself and
striving to reach unrealistic goals. The book Working on Yourself Doesn't
Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation by Ariel and Shya
Kane really supported me in discovering that place and transformed my
life. The Kanes bring the message that we are perfect just the way we are
and that if we can stop listening to those delusional conversations in our
heads about our imperfections, life can transform instantaneously into an
exciting adventure.
If you are or have been suffering from an Eating Disorder and are looking
to strengthen your ability to be yourself, experience satisfaction and live
free of neurotic behavior, I urge you to look into the work of Ariel and Shya
Kane (they have written 2 other books How To Create a Magical
Relationship and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment). They
bring a very real and instantaneous possibility for Healing that very few
people have had the chance to experience.
