The 10th Anniversary Edition of the book that has given hope and inspiration to thousands who are dealing with eating disorders
"If you or someone you love has an eating disorder, this is the book to read."
--Dr. Phil

Jenni had been in an abusive relationship with Ed for far too long. He controlled Jenni's life, distorted her self-image, and tried to physically harm her throughout their long affair. Then, in therapy, Jenni learned to treat her eating disorder as a relationship, not a condition. By thinking of her eating disorder as a unique personality separate from her own, Jenni was able to break up with Ed once and for all.

Inspiring, compassionate, and filled with practical exercises to help you break up with your own personal E.D., Life Without Ed provides hope to the millions of people plagued by eating disorders. Beginning with Jenni's "divorce" from Ed, this supportive, lifesaving book combines a patient's insights and experiences with a therapist's prescriptions for success to help you live a healthier, happier life without Ed.

This 10th anniversary edition features a new afterword as well as sections devoted to family, friends, and supporters; how treatment professionals can use the book with their patients; and men with eating disorders.

"Of all the great books written on eating disorders, none has had a wider reach than Life Without Ed. Those suffering have found connection and hope, family members have found understanding and empathy, professionals have learned from it and praised it. It will remain a classic for decades to come."
--Michael E. Berrett, PhD, psychologist; CEO and cofounder of the Center for Change; coauthor of Spiritual Approaches in the Treatment of Women with Eating Disorders

" Life Without Ed] was the first book] to teach readers that they can not only separate from their eating disorder, but also disagree with and disobey it. I wholeheartedly recommend this witty, hopeful guide to patients, carers, professionals, and anyone else who wants to understand what it's really like to live with an eating disorder and ultimately triumph over it."
--Jennifer J. Thomas, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at the Harvard Medical School; co-director of the Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital

"This uplifting book's intimate inner dialogue has energized countless young women--and men--in their own recoveries from eating disorders."
--Leigh Cohn, MAT, CEDS, coauthor of Making Weight: Men's Conflicts with Food, Weight, Shape & Recovery

"Jenni is truly a remarkable woman. She unselfishly shares her struggles and triumphs in something that will probably affect all of us in one way or another in our lifetime. Her candid and inspiring story will truly help those suffering from their own "Ed." I feel privileged to know her and her story."
--Jamie-Lynn Sigler, actress

Pretty little shelves that work well
These shelves are made with real wood and are great quality. The scalloped edges are so pretty and they were easy to install with the tool kit provided. I can fit a good amount of books and some small toys if I want to. These shelves function well for their intended purpose. The instructions were simple and easy to follow as well.

High-Quality Pine Shelves With Beauty, Strength & Endless Possibilities!
The aroma of real pine wood greeted me immediately, that natural, clean scent you only get from solid wood. The craftsmanship is excellent, with beautiful grain patterns and a smooth scalloped edge that adds both charm and safety. Although they’re advertised for a nursery, their versatility is what won me over. I’m painting one white to match my kitchen and use it for spices, another in black for my bedroom to display a few of my art pieces, and two will be going into my craft room. They’re sturdy and spacious and look great...the shelf itself is not small it's almost 4 inches wide, that's 4 inches to place what ever you'd like on and a full 24 inches across! For this price point, you would normally expect particleboard, not premium solid wood. These are built to last, and you can feel the difference instantly. If you're choosing between something inexpensive and something natural and durable, go with the real wood. You’ll be happy you did.

These elegant pine shelves are made from beautiful wood that has an elegantgant finish
Beautiful pine wood and a smooth finish are the hallmark features of the 4 floating shelves with wood hooks. Although the shelves were designed for a nursery or toddler’s room;?it is going to look beautiful in my bedroom. The scalloped edges give it a touch of elegance. The wooden hangers are perfect for hanging, necklaces or scarves just to name a few items. The shelves are a perfect size to place perfume bottles and/or pictures. Mostly I want to put the many keepsakes items I have that I just never found a good place to display them. This will put many of my keepsakes in one location and it will be easy to see and enjoy them. I only opened one of the packages for pictures. I’m waiting for them to be installed and I didn’t want to lose any of the small parts.

Very nice shelves they look great up and were easy to install. Same color shown in picture. They seem very sturdy on the wall and I love the look of them. They are light weight and a good size just a little plunder 40 inches. Good quality for the price. I'll be buying again.
