Beating Ana

The first book to address mentoring/sponsoring as an effective and viable movement in the treatment of eating disorders
A new way of thinking and approaching eating disorders treatment: Provide mentors for people with eating disorders in much the same way as alcoholics provide sponsors for those seeking recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous.

Beating Ana introduces this familiar concept as a new and valid one for enhancing the treatment of eating disorders, by highlighting how the same approach cured the author of her fifteen-year battle with anorexia and bulimia.

Beating Ana, very much in the tradition of the bestselling book on eating disorders Life without Ed, itself acts as a mentor, offering a series of recovery workshops, affirmations, advice from the trenches, and letters from courageous eating disorder survivors, all of which empower readers to set and achieve recovery goals - one day at a time.

Launching simultaneously with the author's mentoring website, www.mentorconnect-ed.org - the first free global mentoring network to connect those in strong recovery with those who are striving to recover -- Beating Ana will be the portal through which people suffering from various eating disorders are unprecedentedly brought together to support each other and heal together - all through the click of the mouse.
