Inside Amy by Leanne Brogan
|
Inside Amy is a true story of my life. I am not a distinguished, prominent, recognized author of our time. I am a mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a godmother and a friend, a woman who suffered silently as a child, and later in life, became a victim of anorexia nervosa. Although many books discuss eating disorders from different points of view, my book is distinct because it recounts my personal experience as a mother with anorexia nervosa. Throughout the book, I refer to myself as Amy, a name I always loved from childhood.
|
I was compelled to write this book as a form of therapy, a way to obtain my own sense of inner peace. I never imagined how many years of unspoken emotions I had to release on paper. Once I had finished writing my story, I realized that I needed others to read and relate to it. I wanted to reach out to all ages, inform them to seek outside sources and realize it is acceptable to ask for help. I have learned to accept myself for the beautiful person I have become and found the courage to say, “I survived.” I discovered these fine qualities. I always had them inside of me. Over many years, I uncovered them.
Inside Amy, Adults and Eating Disorders – Out in the Open is available online at www.Amazon.com, www.PublishAmerica.com, and www.BarnesandNoble.com. The ISBN # is 1-4137-8744-4; the price is $19.95.

"If not dieting" resources, by Dr Rick Kausman
Dr Rick Kausman is regarded as the Australian pioneer of the non-dieting approach. His award-winning book, If Not Dieting, Then What? is now available from Gurze.
Dr Rick's other resources are available directly from his own web site at www.ifnotdieting.com
They include the following:
 |
The If not dieting Empowerment Cards are a 64 Card Deck with each card containing a key message and a beautiful nature photograph. Pick a card each day to provide help and support to: enjoy food without feeling guilty, increase your eating awareness, enjoy moving your body, improve how you feel about yourself, and achieve and maintain a healthy weight without feeling deprived of food or losing quality of life. |
 |
Calm Eating draws together Dr Rick’s own writings, inspirational quotes from some of his clients, and quotes from other writers who share Dr Rick's philosophy of discarding the diet mentality and learning to look at food and yourself in a positive and nurturing light. You can dip into 'Calm Eating' at random, or read through it page by page – in either case, the warm, witty and wise advice inside this book will motivate and inspire you to really enjoy one of life's great pleasures – the food we eat. |
 |
The If not dieting Eating Awareness Diary is a great tool to help us observe what is happening for us around food. It is a resource that both experience and research has shown to be effective. The Eating Awareness Diary helps us to: increase our eating awareness, understand how easy it is to end up eating a considerable amount of the time when we are not physically hungry, identify the factors that contribute to our non-hungry eating, and aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy, comfortable weight. |
