well iv just started reading your book and never relised how much i could relate to someone, i think i have a problem… iv had it for a while i just havent had the courage to face it but your book is making me realise i may just have a problem!

i just wanted to say i love the book and its making me realise just through looking at myself im anorexic!

thanks! x x x x x

The day I bought PERFECT, I will never forget. After three years of fighting various eating disorders, but mainly anorexia, my life had taken a turn for the worst. I had also isolated myself from almost everyone I loved and knew that a change HAD to happen. Emily’s book was the first step towards living again. Everyone whom battles an ED will know that ANA, MIA or even bingeing does not allow much for living, or should I rather say enjoying life.
Emily not only inspired me to finally give up the self-destructive control, but her honesty gave me so much comfort and understanding of this disease.

I’ll always be grateful to you, Emily, and I do not think that you will ever understand the magnitude of what your book and courage has meant to me in my life.

Yes, I’m not over my ED, and still in recovery, but I have taken the important steps as to achieve a fairly normal life, free of my ED’s poisonous and constricting ways.

So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Emily!
Lots of love and stay strong everybody!!!

maybe,one day,ill share my story,
but right now its my story,my fight,my battle

a battle i have not yet won,but am winning.

hopefully i dont fall.

but ill always remember your amazing journey

I am currently in recovery stage and am reading your book at the moment and cannot tell you how much it is helping me.

SImilar to you and a lot of sufferers, I have the same perfectionist traits and although I never had issues around body image, it was all about obssessive ways of thinking and living my life by set routines/rituals.

I am making progress, although only little steps but it is so hard, the thing I am really struggling with is breaking out of my routines. I would really appreciate if you could maybe offer some advice on how to combat this and change set ways of thinking?

I just wish I could relax my attitude to food and be the person I was before all this but it feels like I have such a long way to go. Your book is really inspiring me tho so thank you so much for writing about your experiences and helping us all.

I hope you are well and happy and hope to hear from you soon.
