Good girls do swallow - Rachael Oakes-Ash

Between the ages of 17 and 31, Rachael Oakes-Ash lost 63kg and gained
76kg on a roller-coaster of body image problems and food obsession. She
went through anorexia, bulimia, bulimarexia, gym mania, strict dieting
and binge eating before she finally she figured out how to stop
torturing herself and hating her body. Good Girls Do Swallow is the very black and very funny story of her downfall and her recovery.

Rachael might have taken things further than many of us, but this is a
story every woman can relate to. You might not have rescued food from
the rubbish bin in a moment of binge-madness but if you've ever felt
lousy and reached for a chocolate biscuit for comfort, this book is for
you.

'What the diet promised, I got,' writes Rachael. `I got the body that
can wear the clothes. I got the job I love, I got the man I want. But I
only got it for keeps when I stopped dieting.' From the Carol Brady
Syndrome and Thindarella to Mutiny in Aisle Six, Good Girls Do Swallow tells how she did it.
