It Was Never about the Food shows that recovery from eating disorders is possible. Whether you are someone entering treatment, returning to treatment, supporting someone in treatment, or even contemplating treatment, it is intended to shine a spotlight on the path to recovery. The authors share the stories of four individuals who developed and struggled with an eating disorder and overcame it. The stories answer questions such as: What role does an eating disorder play in someone s life? How does an eating disorder develop and how harmful can it be? What does the path to recovery look like?Through these stories, you will see that recovery does not come from a predictable formula. You cannot say to anyone suffering from an eating disorder that if he or she would simply do X, Y, and Z, he or she will recover. Eating disorders require a personalized and comprehensive approach to recovery. A major component to recovery seems to be the willingness to ask for help and to accept support from others and recognizing that it is never about the food.
