A self-help guide that answers your questions about body image and disordered eating
This nonfiction self-help book for young readers with disordered eating and body image problems delivers real talk about eating disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so much to disordered eating.
You Are Enough answers questions like:
- What types of treatment are available for eating disorders?
- What is anxiety?
- How can you relax?
- What is cognitive reframing?
- Why are measurements like BMI flawed and arbitrary?
- What is imposter syndrome?
- How do our role models affect us?

. . . just to name a few.
Many eating disorder books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the eating disorder conversation, and this book is written with a special eye to inclusivity, so that people of any gender, socioeconomic group, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or chronic illness can benefit.
Eating disorder survivor Jen Petro-Roy draws from her own experience with anorexia, OCD, and over-exercising, as well as research and interviews with survivors and medical professionals, to deliver a toolkit for recovery, written in a easy-to-understand, conversational way.

You are everything. I love you.
IN THE INTRODUCTION to this book, I discuss a bit about my own struggles with an eating disorder, and my journey to body acceptance. As you read, please keep in mind that I am writing about my experience alone, about my thoughts and my body alone. In a similar situation, others may have reacted in a different way. The way I related to food and dealt with an eating disorder is no more or less valid than anyone elses.
I am not a medical professional. I do not have experience with every single way food and self-esteem can affect someones life. The introduction will touch upon my limitations and the ways I worked to fill in the gaps to make this book as helpful to as many different people and populations as possible.
Part One of this book will discuss eating disorders themselves. What are eating disorders? Who gets them? What other factors can be involved that might make recovery harder? How are eating disorders different from what the media often shows us?
Part Two of this book will discuss different skills and pieces of information that were crucial to my recovery, pieces that I hope you can apply to your life through the exercises included at the end of many chapters.
Part Three will cover common situations that you may face while struggling to recover, especially when it comes to people and situations that can seem out of your control (society, friends, family, the media), and will discuss how to combat the bad body image that may accompany your steps forward.
Part Four will talk about what needs to change (both in you and in your environment) as you recoverwhat steps you may need to take and what boundaries you may need to set up to best guard the way you are learning to feel about your one unique and wonderful self.
The back of the book contains additional resources and source notes, information on scholarship funds for treatment, and recommended books and websites. You can look at this as you are reading or after; its up to you!
The chapters and subject headings are set up to allow you to skip around the book. If you think a segment in Part Three will really help you with the place youre in, you can read that section first, without taking away from the message of the rest of the book.
As you read, remember that some people get their eating disorders recognized early while others are never identified. Some families can afford hospital stays and residential treatment, while others struggle with the costs of therapy.
People struggling with eating disorders can be any weight. (I dont like to use the term normal weight, because what even is normal?)
Many people think they dont deserve or need treatment, and some eating issues are labeled not severe enough for treatment.
Every experience is different, just as every personality and every body is different. The common thread, though, is that we all deserve recovery. No matter your height or weight or body shape or size, no matter what behaviors or thoughts you struggle with, you deserve to recover. You deserve to accept yourself and like yourself and (yes!) even love yourself.
This book is for you. I want it to help you. Thats because you are important. You deserve to read this message and apply these lessons to your life.
Lets get started.
FIRST OF ALL , I want to emphasize that language, including terms used to describe specific populations, is always changing. Words that were once seen as insults are now embraced and new words are always being added. For many groups, certain terms can be contentious, embraced by some and rejected by others. Throughout this book, I did the best I could to use terms that would be as clear and welcoming as possible. However, it is possible that some people will have a problem with words I use in this book, and two in particular:
Queer is a term with a long and complicated history: Its been used as a slur, but its also been used in an academic sense and as an identity. Some lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, aromantic, or pansexual (LGBTQIAP) people also identify as queer, and some dont. Some people feel comfortable using queer as an umbrella term, some prefer an acronym like LGBTQIAP+ or something else.
After listening to a number of people who identify as queer and/or LGBTQIAP+, Ive decided to use queer as an umbrella term for a group of people including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, questioning, asexual, aromantic, and pansexual.
Fat is another complicated word. Many people see fat as an insult and a cruel thing to call someone. However, like queer, fat has been reclaimed by fat acceptance activists who embrace the word fat and encourage others to use it in a descriptive, positive, or neutral way. Many people prefer it to terms like overweight or obese, but not everyone does. While some people find the word fat empowering, many others still find it hurtful.
That being said, after listening to fat activists, I believe that using the term fat rather than overweight or obese is the most respectful thing to do. So when you see fat used throughout the book, know that I am using it as a descriptive term, not as a negative term, nor as a way to insult any group of people.
Also, please note that my use of queer and fat doesnt mean that all the people interviewed in this book would agree with my usage of the terms.
THERE WAS A VOICE in my head for twelve years. More than that, actually. It told me what I should eat and how long I should exercise. It told me that sleep made me lazy and that my body was a work of art I needed to perfect.
It told me that I was my body, that everything else about memy interests, my family, my friends, and my healthdidnt matter. All I had to do was be skinny and the world would fall into place.
It will be easy
