So what's this whole book project, anyway?

I believe that there is strength in numbers, and I believe that no
one can help us rediscover our own feelings about ourselves better
than others who are already going through the exact same things
that we are. I've learned a lot of things throughout my recovery so far,
both for myself and from some of the incredibly insightful women I've
connected with over the past couple of years.
I want to share that knowledge with you.
My book will address all of those little questions or problems
that you have about developing a healthier lifestyle, feeling better
about yourself, and accomplishing your dreams--stuff that you just
won't find in other books on the shelves today. It is my hope that this
book could finally be that one extra tool we all need in our own
personal journeys towards health and true self-acceptance.
Therapist and author Carolin Costin will bring her professional
point of view to the book; she herself has been recovered from
anorexia for over 20 years, and is the author of The Eating
Disorders Sourcebook, Your Dieting Daughter, and 100 Questions
and Answers about Eating Disorders.
My agent is Kate Epstein of Epstein Literary Agency.
Check out http://justinelang.livejournal.com for updates on
the project, as well as regular tips on how YOU can start learning to
live a better life!
Don't forget to visit the Real Females Message Board from
time to time to say hi. And please remember to spread the word
about www.RealFemalesUnite.com and this recovery project, too. I
can't do it alone!

More than half of teenaged girls are, or think they should be, on diets. They want to lose all or some of the forty pounds that females naturally gain between 8 and 14. About three percent of these teens go too far, becoming anorexic or bulimic. We can only guess at the vast numbers of people who have subclinical or threshold eating disorders. They are too much preoccupied with food and weight. Their eating and weight control behaviors are not normal, but they are not disturbed enough to qualify for a formal diagnosis. -- Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders, Inc. |
When someone gives me a genuine compliment, I take mental note. And then, when I get home, I’ll write it on a post-it note and stick it next to mirrors. I know I might not ever meet my own standards, but I’ve finally reached that stage where I can accept myself and recognize all the positive things about myself and the life I live. --Morgan, 21, North Dakota |
