Imagine waking in a hospital bed to find your frail pale arm punctured by an IV transferring fluids and nutrients into your weak, stiff body. What happened? You're an adult, age 26, 67 pounds, and you just had a seizure precipitated by your chronic secretive decades-long struggle with unacknowledged eating disorders (ED). You have no friends and no normal young adult experiences. Living Full is author Danielle Sherman-Lazar's story.
A groundbreaking 2012 study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders found that about 13 percent of women over age 50 exhibit ED symptoms. To put that in perspective, breast cancer afflicts about 12 percent of women. Everyone knows about breast cancer and how dangerous it is, yet eating disorders are kept hidden out of shame.
Filled with pop culture references, humor, and delivered with raw honesty about the escalating and increasingly dangerous behaviors of a person acting out the mental illness of ED, Living Full chronicles Danielle Sherman-Lazar's step-by-step descent into the nightmare that is full-blown ED. Recovery comes using the Maudsley Approach, a treatment that is rarely tried on adults. In a grueling battle, sometimes reminiscent of Helen Keller's fight with Anne Sullivan, the Maudsley Approach is a regimen of supervised controlled eating or refeeding by outpatient helpers that can eventually result in recovery.
Written by a woman who has passed through the crucible of ED to recovery, Living Full exposes the rarely talked about behind-the-scenes triggers and treatments, shame and guilt, and even coexisting addictions that go undetected in adult women today.

Good looks are not what defines a truly good human, though this is almost everything we crave: we need the beauty because it is a promise of happiness, it gives us hope for a better life and craving beauty is instinctive: beauty promises health. The beauty we can see on the screen is a pleasant bubblegum for conscience that lets us think we are able to find someone we will love one day. But the truth is that we hate ourselves and hate the like of ours - other humans. The glamorous versions of humans from the screen are made to deceive us into believing that we love ourselves and that life is beautiful and finding love is possible. The glamorous pictures only help us endure and postpone the pain and promote life to us. This is to the benefit of corporatocracy, not to ours. We humans are mostly more physiological than we would love to be. My stomach is essentially a food pocket, not a seamless delicate flat part of a Disney fairy’s precious fragile little body.
I find that being our true selves , the survival ninjas, as Danielle puts it, is one little bright light at the end of the tunnel. I recall being happy and feeling life is worth living when i was outside of the glamorous world created by corporatocracy. i was with my own alien folks and we were just sitting around the fire stoking the pot of tea for our little company. The tea with condensed milk, the sea bustling by our side and the Strizh planes in the sky above us: the pilots were flying that day in that place just for their fun or work routine, this was not a staged performance.
Thanks to Danielle for letting me know i am not alone
