More About This Book

Overview

An extraordinary narrative about one woman’s battle with exercise bulimia

“Peach Friedman’s chronicle of a life with exercise bulimia is the most detailed and honest example of how this disease can enter and take over your life. She exposes every aspect of the emotional, physical, and mental effects this disorder can have on an individual, and with her candidness, I know she can help so many others out there in the world who suffer from this eating disorder.”
—Jamie-Lynn Sigler, actress, author of Wise Girl

“Not only will you find this book accessible and useful but so captivating that you won’t want to put it down.”
—Jenni Schaefer, author of Life Without Ed


“Peach Friedman writes with ruthless honesty and a poet’s grace about an addiction that is all too common in our fitness-crazed society . . . it will give hope to the many whose compulsion to over-exercise prevents them form leading full and healthy lives.”
—Aimee Liu, author of Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Personal trainer Friedman courageously takes on the life-threatening illness of eating disorders and exercise addiction. After a traumatic breakup with her longtime boyfriend, she went into a tailspin, finding control by restricting her caloric intake and exercising compulsively. Assisted by a supportive family and years of therapy, Friedman prevails. This book would be ideal for teenage and young adult women aiming to beat exercise bulimia.-Lynne Maxwell

Meet the Author

Peach Friedman, a spokesperson for the National Eating Disorders Association, is a personal fitness trainer and yoga teacher who works with people recovering from eating disorders. She has been featured in People magazine, has been interviewed by Barbara Walters on ABC’s The View, and has appeared on 20/20 and E! True Hollywood Story.

Recipe



As a young Southern woman in her senior year of college, Peach Friedman set out to beat the blues—and a break-up with her boyfriend—by beating herself into shape. Running ten miles a day and taking in as little as 800 calories, she forbade herself from indulging in the sensual pleasure of food and worked her body to exhaustion to avoid dealing with her emotional pain.

She fell from 146 to 100 pounds in three months.

Friedman suffered from exercise bulimia—a compulsion to purge calories through excessive exercise, and a rapidly growing eating disorder that affects some 400,000 American women. Having lost all memory of the sexy, curvaceous woman she once knew, Friedman found herself at serious risk of cardiac arrest.

In Diary of an Exercise Addict, Friedman chronicles her harrowing six-year ordeal—from her gradual descent into a life-threatening eating disorder to her remarkable recovery, and the setbacks and challenges she encountered along the way. With refreshing candor, she unveils her intimate relationships with family, friends, and lovers, as well as the repressed desire that finally finds its way to the surface as she finds her own way back to health. In this raw and illuminating narrative, Friedman does not shy away from recounting the most painful details about her body, her sex life, and her family, as well as her darkest, most terrifying thoughts.

In a culture obsessed with weight management and fitness, this extraordinary memoir exposes the very real dangers of pushing your body too hard, while showing how one woman’s courage and determination helped her to eventually wind her way back to a full recovery. Abook about accepting yourself—and your body—and embracing your true identity, Diary of an Exercise Addict will comfort, inspire, and captivate.
