Comprehensive and Effective Recovery Program for Women with Eating Disorders
A resource to help you overcome the struggle of emotional eating, realize your self-worth, and live the life you deserve.
One in five women suffer from eating disorders. While this issue is primarily associated with teenage girls, doctors report that a growing number of women are also developing these disorders later in life or have hidden these problems for years. For women in their thirties, forties, fifties, and beyond, issues of loss from divorce, death, empty nest syndrome, marriage, and career pressures can trigger an eating disorder.
Eating disorder self-help. You might find yourself juggling careers, marriages, and families, all while struggling with eating disorders for years. Healing Your Hungry Heart is that friend you can lean on.

- Early warning signs
- Challenges to early recovery
- Triggers to emotional eating
- Impact on sex life and family relationships
