F.U.E.D. or F*** You Eating Disorder Colette Murphy

On the surface Eve Gogarty looks just like any other career-driven woman. But while you'd never be able to tell, ever since she was young Eve has suffered with an eating disorder. However for years she has been keeping her problem hidden from her parents and friends, to the point where it's starting to consume her whole life, and her toxic relationship with both food and her body has morphed into an all-absorbing and life-threatening problem. With no signs of improvement and the constant worry from people around her hanging over her head, eventually the stress of the situation gets too much and Eve finds herself enrolling in a programme to help her battle through the issues. Aided through the process by a number of other patients who are going through the same thing, Eve strikes up life-long friendships as she slowly learns that the eating disorder isn't the only thing that defines her. Chronicling the difficult road to recovery, F. U. E. D (or F*** You Eating Disorder) offers an honest look at the dangerous battle that millions of people around the globe go through every day. Delving into the psyche of those suffering with the problem day to day, the tragic but hopeful story of Eve is brought to life over the pages of Colette Murphy's new novel. Full to the brim with hilarious moments of friendship and the tragic hidden downfalls that are rarely ever spoken about, the ugly side of eating disorders is tackled head-on over the course of F. U. E. D to remind anyone suffering that things can get better, and more importantly: you are not alone.
