“In Why She Feels Fat, McShane and Paulson give parents the all-important perspective of their suffering child—this book explains the incomprehensible. When read with an open mind and heart, it brings to friends and family alike much needed understanding and guidance.”
—Doris Smeltzer, MA, MFTI, author, Andrea’s Voice: Silenced by Bulimia

“Like never before, this book takes the reader into the mind of someone with an eating disorder and explains the unexplainable. Combining personal insights from sufferers with clinical expertise, the authors provide step-by-step guidance for maneuvering the long and winding path from illness to full recovery. Why She Feels Fat is an essential resource for all families and friends.”
—Jenni Schaefer, author, Life Without Ed

“With the plethora of books on eating disorders these days, few are dedicated to the loved ones of those suffering from these illnesses. Why She Feels Fat is a welcomed addition to the field…From understanding medical issues to grasping why a person with anorexia says they feel fat, this book will help guide those lost in the quagmire that dealing with someone else's eating disorder inevitably brings.”
—Carolyn Costin, Director, Monte Nido Treatment Center; author, The Eating Disorder Sourcebook

“Why She Feels Fat provides an inside view of the intense struggle and emotions behind an eating disorder...we look forward to adding Why She Feels Fat to our patient library.”
