Lying in Weight: The Hidden Epidemic of Eating Disorders in Adult Women

Author: Trisha Gura

It is commonly held that the sufferers of anorexia nervosa and bulimia are angst-ridden teenage girls who impose unrealistic beauty standards on their still-developing bodies. In Lying in Weight, Gura explodes the myths that adolescence is the only time of life that these disorders manifest and that women who achieve a normal weight after contending with eating disorders are "cured." Shockingly, tens of millions of American women -- overlooked by the medical and mental health communities because they're older than 25 and understudied -- suffer from "food issues" that can be linked to any number of disruptive changes and challenges throughout their lives. These triggers -- marriage, the birth of a child, menopause, stress from child rearing, marital difficulties and depression -- bring about emotional, psychological and medical problems that play out under the radar in women who live in the throes of food obsessions.
