A Few More Good Reads

Hello all! I know I have previously mentioned a few good books concerning eating disorder recovery and I am happy to say that I have some more!

Shannon Cutts is a fabulous woman who has recovered from an eating disorder as well as founded the website MentorConnect (which is a link under the resource list to the right). Shannon's motto is, "Relationships Replace Eating Disorders". Her website is a place for people to be mentored and receive support from individuals who understand and have been through similar situations. Well, her January newsletter supplied a list of books she recommends and I am going to be oh so nice and pass them along to whomever may be interested. Happy reading!

I'd add Gaining, by Aimee Liu. I read it awhile ago but really liked it. :)
