My Way Out of Anorexia - the expanded new edition! An open and personal account of experience. Stay sick or get healthy? Starve or live? Sooner or later, when an eating disorder reaches a critical point, those affected must confront these questions. This was also the case for Laura Pape. After a seemingly harmless diet, she falls into anorexia at the age of 17, and quickly realizes that she cannot escape the dangerous illness without outside help. In "Hungry for Life," the young author recounts her story of illness, but above all, her journey to recovery, to encourage others in similar situations to choose life. This expanded new edition also includes insights from Laura's daily life, six years after her battle with anorexia. She now lives with her boyfriend and maintains a healthy body weight.
