“Anorexia cannot be cured by treating the physical symptoms alone; it is the mind which must be treated.”

“Anorexia is not an illness of the body; it is an illness of the mind.”

“One of the most dangerous myths surrounding eating disorders is that they are a life sentence.”

“Guilt is a destructive and ultimately pointless emotion”

“The good news, however, is that, also contrary to popular belief, full and lasting recovery from an eating disorder is possible.”

“Eating disorder sufferers cannot be told to 'pull themselves together', to 'stop doing that' or to 'just eat'.”
