Showing results for "A Confession" in Eating Disorders

By the time Susan Blech was 38 years old, she weighed a staggering 468.1 pounds. She binged. She was "only a little chubby," or so she convinced herself. Gripping, sometimes shocking, and ultimately inspiring, Confessions of a Carb Queen is the story of how Susan changed her life to save her life, ultimately losing 250 pounds without surgery. Susan speaks candidly about eating binges, fat sex, and other topics no obese person has dared to address.

Avery Hollins delivers a powerful, intimate, and unflinchingly honest portrait of binge eating, body shame, emotional hunger, and the long road to recovery. Confessions of a Binge Eater follows Ellie from her childhood in a small Midwestern town—where silence, judgment, and “being careful with food” shaped her earliest memories—into an adolescence marked by late-night rituals, hidden wrappers, calorie counting, and the secret comfort of binge eating.
