Food and weight, self-worth and depression are important concerns for many people today. We are surrounded by people who want to lose weight, people who comfort eat and other who restrict their eating as  a way of dealing with problems. In such cases this leads to eating disorders such as compulsive eating, binge-eating, or starvation.

Here, twelve woman and men describe how they have recovered from their eating problems, desperation and self-hatred. A mother and a husband of  woman who have suffered from eating problems also tell their stories, describing the involvement of family members.

These inspiring stories are about far more than food and weight and self-worth. They contain lesions for us all, about the important things in life, our worth in God’s sight, and God’s ability to reach out to us even when we feel surrounded by darkness. This is a book full of hope, honesty, real life and God’s love.
