I M In Eating Disorder Recovery. The Holidays Are A Difficult Time

But the programs often focused on food just as much as my eating disorder did....

At that relatively young age, all I knew for sure was that I wanted to write. While my upbringing wasn’t exactly boring, I felt I lacked the worldliness any good novelist needed. Like so many aspiring writers, I wanted to travel. Rather than backpacking through Europe or joining the Peace Corps, though, I formulated a more ambitious idea: I would live in 10 different cities for one year each....

One of the most interesting aspects of my job is working with couples who have experienced infidelity....
