“I sit in a dark space, isolated from the world.  I have only one companion. When I try to speak, he degrades me.  When I try to run away, he catches me.  When I try to be happy, he forbids it.  He controls my every move.  His name is ED…and he is my eating disorder.”

 

“I was held captive for 22 years until I gained the strength to break free”

 

---  From the Introduction of Telling ED NO!
