Summary
Have you struggled to keep food down for several months now? Do you remember the last time you ate without feeling weighed down and guilty? When was the last time you looked in the mirror without grimacing? I can help you.
This audiobook is dedicated to those suffering with an eating disorder called bulimia nervosa. I am writing based on my experience with the disease. The personal accounts within this audiobook can aid in identifying and overcoming this disorder. Too many teen girls walk the halls of school living in their heads and starving their bodies. This audiobook can help you to see the beautiful girl in the mirror, enjoy food again, and begin talking about your feelings without fear of judgment.
Twenty years ago, I was caught in the grips of bulimia nervosa. The disorder made me feel as though I had an anchor inside of me. I stood at five feet two inches, weighed 92 pounds, and wore a size zero in jeans. I will relate to you within this audiobook the ways to beat this eating disorder.
Eating disorders can take their toll on you, your relationships, and your life. I have created this audiobook as a guide for you to find an outlet for your thoughts, coping mechanisms for your stress, and a way forward in your daily interactions with family, friends, and peers.
It is important to understand this disease is not attention seeking, but instead a reaction to overattentive environments. If you listen to this audiobook, you will find tips and guides to cope with school, sports, family, and friends. It is not easy being a teenage girl, especially in high school. This guide serves to help navigate the daily pressures young women are under in their everyday lives.
Today, we find ourselves interacting more through mass media and phone applications than on an individual level. It would be nice to be able to sit down and have a sincere talk about our feelings, relationships, and classes. Instead, daily, most are fighting for “likes” and approval of their surrounding groups.
Can you honestly say you like the people you are around? Are you friends with each other, or is it safer to be bored in a group than to be bored alone? I can show you the way forward. I can help you out of this self-destructive cycle you have fallen into.
Within Inner Anchor, you will discover:
- Ways to improve your self-esteem through self-reflection
- Tips to eat full meals three times a day without feeling guilty
- Open communication with your parents about your feelings
- Improve communication with your siblings about your daily life
- Improve communication with your friends about your true self
- Open your daily schedule to new opportunities with new friends, activities, and groups
- Who you were before people told you who you were
When struggling with bulimia, the world can feel like a fishbowl with no way out. The fixation on weight, the positive attention accompanying a tiny waist, and the superficial interactions of daily life can feel like living under a microscope. Exploring the possibilities of making new friends, joining new groups, and trying new sports is what overcoming this eating disorder is all about.
The ability to move forward from external opinions and truly see your value in the mirror instead of the numbers on the scale is what this audiobook is all about. I understand the struggle. I see you and understand you.

for those struggling with Eating disorders
Wow! This is an amazing inspiring and applicable resource for those who are struggling with any eating disorder. It goes over which foods to eat and not eat in order to overcome the urges that they face, and gives other types of listeners tips on how to help the person overcome this mental struggle. Figuring these things out from experience, the author is trying to set up young people with tools she had to learn on her own. Great job, Shannon.

Informative
This is a good informative book for teen girls. Especially those struggling to find themselves. This will boost their confidence. I liked the fact that the author shares historical experience and how she went through the disease without any support. The learning to me is that one should always try to share what ever we are going through. Anyone experiencing eating disorder or having loved ones experiencing eating disorder should read this book so that you can know how to support them through the disease.

A true account of overcoming bulimia
This is a beautiful listen to support ourselves or someone close to us who is suffering greatly through bulimia. I wish I'd had access to this book during my teen years, when my best friend struggled with this disorder. At that time, I knew it was a real problem but didn't know anything about it - it wasn't something we discussed or learned about. If only I'd had this guide to better understand how to make it through this, and to pass on to my dear friend who suffered for years without support. A must-listen if you or someone you know is struggling with this eating disorder.

Brilliant and important book
I listened to this audiobook and was blown away. The author gives an incredibly insightful overview on how to overcome bulimia.
It’s really well researched and comes from the authors own personal experience, which is clear the more you get into the book.
Highly recommended audiobook.

Helping young women with bulimia
This audiobook shows the struggles that young women go through when they have Bulimia Nervosa. It discusses the ongoing struggles a girl goes through, the self-isolation, and explains that many of these women also suffer from other mental disorders. They feel that no one listens to them or cares about them. Yet, these young women feel guilty for their issues and for lying. The author provides strategies that you can use to battle bulimia and your perception of food. She also discusses the types of parenting styles and why authoritarian parents are commonly one reason girls develop bulimia, the parental control, and the constant barrage of negativity leading girls to feel trauma, neglect, and abuse. I think this audiobook is a great resource for young women to understand their condition, how they can take steps to correct it, and how to get help to overcome it.
