Title: Been there, still there...
Product review: It never ceases to amaze me how totally and completely self-absorbed anorexics and bulimics are. Marya Hornbacher is no exception and "Wasted" is her own personal tribute to how dramatic and special and sick she was and still is.As a former bulimic, I was hoping to read an honest and insightful account of eating disorders, from the perspective of someone who has "been there, done that" and is now moving forward in recovery. Instead, Hornbacher is obviously still wallowing in her ED... "been there, still there".Hornbacher, in all her self-induced drama, still has not "gotten" recovery. She's still wrapped up in her own little epic, which doesn't include anyone but herself and her thoughts and her body. It's such a shame that she's missing out on all of the wonderful EXTERNAL things real life has to offer.I hope the readers of this book (especially the young women dabbling in ED behavior) can recognize that Hornbacher is NOT a model of what recovery looks like.
