Feel good food book
1 Answers
I ws chatting to one of my friends last night about her 12yr old daughter and her relationship with food / eating / self image etc etc. I have struggled with these things in the past (mainly bulimia) so i think she thought i could help. The problem is that I know nothing about teen girls (its 20yrs since i was one!) so I was wondering, can anyone recommend any good books that might help in this sort of situation. I was even thinking along the lines of some sort of nutrition based book to help her understand how/why her body needs a healthy diet. Maybe I am way off the mark but I hate to see both mother and daughter unhappy. Thanks in advance :o)

Like yourself, though, I suffered from bulimia for several years, and I knew all about healthy eating and what my body needed for me to survive... But I wasn't interested in the facts. So, I don't really know what to suggest. I hope she snaps out of it and starts eating healthily. Maybe she's being bullied in school? I know that was a large factor in why I stopped eating. x
