At nineteen years old, and one month into marriage I found myself in the ER. I was so emaciated my heart was at risk of giving out at any moment. How had this happened to me? I knew my loved ones would see this as the last straw, and force me into recovery. This just couldn't happen! Not while I was still the fattest anorexic in existence! I was humiliated, confused, and terrified as I slowly began to accept the fact that I couldn't live like this anymore without dying.

Having overcome the grip anorexia had on me I'm living my life as every human being deserves to live: happy, free, and to the fullest. My aspiration now consists of being the best wife, daughter, sibling and friend to all the amazing people in my life, as opposed to decreasing the number on the scale. I have found true peace and will continue to follow my passion for helping others with similar struggles do the same. It is my hope and prayer that my story will encourage those on the path to recovery, and remind them that they are not alone in the the things they feel. They're not insane, and no one is trying to brainwash them or ruin their lives, and someone does understand! I also hope this book acts as a small window into the anorexic mind, and provides some form of outline for the support system of the recovering anorexic to follow. No one should have to feel they're approaching such an important role blind. But my greatest desire of all for this book is that it would be a beacon of hope for all who read it. Not everyone will face anorexia, but everyone will face hardship. There will come a point in everyone's life when they're not sure if they'll be able to survive what they're up against. When those moments come, when they feel there's no where for them to turn because their situation is far too dire, my hope is that they'll remember my story and know that no one is too far gone to be saved.
