My mirror lies

How can you overcome an eating disorder? And what is actually going on with someone who suffers from this disorder. An eating disorder robs you of your life, it is both a friend and an enemy and it is difficult to get rid of it. Anorexia, bulimia & co. are tainted with many clichés and prejudices and are still a taboo subject - especially when they affect adults. In her courageous and multi-layered book, Sophie Luise Bauer impressively shows how one can still slip into anorexia as an adult woman. She openly reports what this illness has meant for her social life and for her self-image. And she tells how she managed to break up with her false friend, even though the road was long and rocky.
