Eating Disorders - The Journey to Recovery Workbook

This is an excellent workbook that takes you through your eating disorder, your relationship with food, body issues, women's issues, men's issues, substance abuse, trauma and abuse, media madness and much more.  This workbook helps you to identify things that need to be changed to move your recovery forward. I would certainly recommend this.

Alison
The Twelve-step Workbook of Overeaters Anonymous

An excellent workbook that I would recommend to anyone suffering from an eating disorder.  It examines your whole life and attitudes, helping you to discover what is driving your eating disorder.  It asks the questions and you fill in the answers.

This workbook accompanies the book Twelve steps and Twelve Traditions by Overeaters Anonymous.

Alison
The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

This book explains the steps and traditions that are the core of the Overeaters Anonymous Programme.  This approach does not simply focus on the physical recovery but also looks at the emotional and spiritual side too.  This is not a religious programme. It is based on the more well known Alcoholics Anonymous Programme.

I would recommend this along with attending Overeaters Anonymous meetings.

Alison
Food Addiction. The Body Knows.

Explains in detail about food addiction and how to stop it.  Very enlightening and definitely worth reading. The food plan is detailed in the book below 'From the First Bite', so you might want to buy both books together.

Alison
From the First Bite.  A Complete Guide to Recovery from Food Addiction

An excellent book that is quite radical and extreme if you follow the plan to the letter.  Although not everyone can suddenly develop a food plan as strict as this initially, many people find ultimately they need to remove all or most of the foods that are recommended to be abstained from. Certainly worth a read.  Defines all possible food triggers so if you are struggling this book will help you identify them.  Lists every possible name given to sugar - yes there are 6 pages of them!

Vegetarian Cooking Without

A vegetarian version of Cooking Without. A great book.

Alison
Full Lives

A wonderful and inspirational book about 16 different women, many who are well known, who have freed themselves from food and weight obsessions.  It gives so much hope to women who are suffering themselves. You really can change your life.

Alison
Losing Your Pounds of Pain

A fantastic book that covers all different issues that cause us to eat. Examines areas from childhood through to behaviour cycles, and  how to get help.

Alison
The Secret Language of Eating Disorders

An excellent book that is written by a mother of 2 anorexic daughters, who then went on to set up her own world famous clinic.  She demonstrates how unconditional love is fundamental to recovery. An amazing woman who really can get inside the heads of eating disorder suffers and understands the negative mind

Alison

This book explain why diets don't work and what really causes us to binge. Great reading.

Alison

A practical book on how to demand feed your child.  Looks at behaviours  and how to change your attitudes to eating. Covers eating disorders at the end of the book


Alison
Recovery from Compulsive Overeating

An excellent guide to the Twelve Step Programme.  This was the book that triggered me into recovery.

Alison
The Hungry Years

William Leith explores his emotional and physical battle with food and society's contempt for fat, with searing honesty.

Alison
Living through the Meantime

Although this book is not actually an eating disorders book, it is an excellent work book that helps you to identify patterns of the past and begin the healing process.  This book helps you to put the pieces of your life together like a jigsaw. I love this book and have discovered so much
