Personal Stories

About a year into writing my book, I learned that, in addition to my dad, several of my friends and co-workers had also struggled with binge-eating. I desperately wanted to hear their stories and once I did, I knew it would be important for me to share them with others. The following stories were adapted from interviews I conducted between March and June 2006. Each story tells of the individual’s struggles and triumphs getting out of B.E.D.
