Description

Why would a talented young woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death? Through five lengthy hospital stays, endless therapy, and the loss of family, friends, jobs, and all sense of what it means to be "normal," Marya Hornbacher lovingly embraced her anorexia and bulimia - until a particularly horrifying bout with the disease in college put the romance of wasting away to rest forever. A vivid, honest, and emotionally wrenching memoir, Wasted is the story of one woman's travels to reality's darker side - and her decision to find her way back on her own terms.

This book scared me. It was scary how far someone is willing to go, it was scary how blind people can be and how easy it is to lie to them. And it was scary how much influence the written word has on me. Even though I love food and consider myself to have a semi-healthy relationship with it, I found this book very triggering. I thought about how low i could get my weight before it becomes impossible to lose anymore in a healthy way. I caught myself staring at legs, legs, legs everywhere I go and inspecting my tummy more than before. It was a great book with big impact, but I'm glad I finished it. Now I can go back to thinking about what icecream machine i will buy.
