“Chasing Silhouettes” by Emily T. Weirenga is a book about eating disorders. I cried when I read the stories in this book. Eating is one of the elements that all of us humans share. It connects us. We eat around a table for meals together. In Weirenga’s book she uses a lot of great information from different sources about how to handle and help someone with an eating disorder. One of the first things she says is not to talk to them about food choices they are making. Because it condemns them, shames them, and makes the disorders worse. You allow them to come to you, you listen and offer support.
If you know someone or if you are in fact one who is fighting an eating disorder this book will offer you the support and guidance in receiving help from God, your family, and counselors that will be able to help you through it.
