Recommended+reading+AN

Overcoming anorexia can feel very daunting. It can be difficult to take those first steps to ask for help, or to start to make changes. And motivation can wax and wane during treatment. It can also be difficult for family and friends to fully understand what anorexia is like, or to know how to help.
