BOURNE, Mass., Sept. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- No matter what issues exist at the root of devastating eating disorders, Rachael Green wants people to know that hope exists. Her new book, "Putting an End to the Hunger" (now available through AuthorHouse), provides a path to healing for all those who may be suffering in silence.
"I know my subject inside and out," Green writes. "I lived it for years. I titled my book, "Putting an End to the Hunger" because 'the hunger' of bulimia is not just physical. It is an emptiness, a constant gnawing, and a powerful hunger that food alone can never fill."
Divided into three parts, "Putting an End to the Hunger" chronicles Green's struggle to free herself from the grips of bulimia and to reclaim her mental and physical health. For two years she immersed herself in research, searched her soul, and tried various recovery techniques in a fight for her life. Her efforts are detailed in this compelling book.
Part 1 thoroughly explains bulimia and unearths the ugly truths of the disorder. This section of the book helps bulimic individuals understand what is going on inside their mind, body, and soul. It also explains the progression of bulimia, lists side effects, and offers accurate and realistic methods of breaking the hunger, binge, and purge cycle.
Parts 2 and 3 detail the slow and painful progress Green made in her own recovery, along with the agonizing setbacks that are familiar to those battling eating disorders. By sharing her experiences, she hopes to help others find an easier path toward holistic health.
A book that speaks to victims of eating disorders with honesty and compassion, "Putting an End to the Hunger" helps readers realize they are not alone in their suffering and offers a hand to help them break their lethal obsessions.
Green suffered from bulimia for more than 13 years. She writes that the secrecy of the illness and a lack of medical insurance forced her to "either recover on her own or risk dying from the side effects of this addiction." In 1991, she made a complete recovery and remains healthy to this day. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in natural health and lives on Cape Cod with her husband and three daughters. "Putting an End to the Hunger" is her first book. For more information, visit www.puttinganendtothehunger.com.
