43 years is longer than a life sentence! Yet life with bulimia must go on. Travel with me as I cope with anorexia and bulimia, the frustrations, limitations, nagging anxieties and chronic insecurities it manifested, and the immoral and "criminal" depths into which it sometimes plunged me over this extended period. Yet I had some memorable experiences, some maybe only so because I was a bulimic. And I never gave up hope. Numerous times I sought and failed to find a "cure", until...until I succeeded (well, with caveats). I offer insights into the inner workings of the mind of a bulimic, as well as some theories as to why this condition persisted for so long. I hope my story will create greater understanding for those who suffer this addiction, and for those who strive to help them.

Statistics suggests that as many as 2.5 percent of American women suffer from anorexia; of these, further research indicates that one in ten of these will die from the disorder. This is the only book available that addresses the particular needs of anorexics with the techniques of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new psychotherapy. The authors of this book are pioneering researchers in the field of ACT, with numerous research articles to their credit Despite ever-widening media attention and public awareness of the problem, American women continue to suffer from anorexia nervosa in greater numbers than ever before. This severe psychophysiological condition-characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, a persistent unwillingness to eat, and severe compulsion to lose weight-is particularly difficult to treat, often because the victims are unwilling to seek help. The Anorexia Workbook demonstrates that efforts to control and stop anorexia may do more harm than good. Instead of focusing efforts on judging impulses associated with the disorder as 'bad' or 'negative,' this approach encourages sufferers to mindfully observe these feelings without reacting to them in a self-destructive way. Guided by this more compassionate, more receptive frame of mind, the book coaches you to employ various acceptance-based coping strategies. Structured in a logical, step-by-step progression of exercises, the workbook first focuses on providing you with a new understanding of anorexia and the ways you might have already tried to control the problem. Then the book progresses through techniques that teach how to use mindfulness to deal with out-of-control thoughts and feelings, how to identify choices that lead to better heath and quality of life, and how to redirect the energy formerly spent on weight loss into actions that will heal the body and mind. Although this book is written specifically as self-help for anorexia sufferers, it includes a clear and informative chapter on when you need to seek professional treatment as well as advice on what to look for in a therapist.

Eating disorders are an important and growing health concern, and Bulimia Nervosa (BN) accounts for the largest fraction of eating disorders. BN is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge-eating followed by compensatory purging, and is especially serious given its increasingly compulsive nature. However, remarkably little is known about its addictive nature and the factors determining the incidence of BN. We use a unique panel data set to examine whether bulimic behavior satisfies the economic definition of addiction. Further, we examine whether BN is a rational addiction in the sense of Becker and Murphy (1988), where both the lead and lag of bulimic behaviors should help explain current behavior after controlling for observed and unobserved heterogeneity. We find there is substantial persistence in BN over time due to state dependence and that this result is very robust to different model specifications and identifying assumptions. Thus BN satisfies the economic definition of addictive behavior. Our results have important implications for public policy. They suggest that: i) treatment for BN should receive the same insurance coverage as treatment of other addictive behaviors such as alcoholism and drug addiction; ii) preventive educational programs that facilitate the detection of BN at an early age should be coupled with more intense (rehabilitation) treatment for individuals exhibiting addictive behaviors. Moreover, bulimic behavior also appears to be a rational addiction, although this result is more tentative as the data (and econometric theory) do not permit similar robustness checks. Finally, we find that bulimic behavior is decreasing in income and parent's education; moreover when race plays a role, African Americans are more likely to exhibit bulimic behavior. These results stand in stark contrast to the popular conceptions of who is most likely to experience BN, and we argue that this is a result of differences in diagnosis of BN across racial and income classes.

Eating disorders are an important and growing health concern, and bulimia nervosa (BN) accounts for the largest fraction of eating disorders. Health consequences of BN are substantial and especially serious given the increasingly compulsive nature of the disorder. However, remarkably little is known about the mechanisms underlying the persistent nature of BN. Using a unique panel data set on young women and instrumental variable techniques, we document that unobserved heterogeneity plays a role in the persistence of BN, but strikingly up to two thirds is due to true state dependence. Our results, together with support from the medical literature, provide evidence that bulimia should be considered an addiction. Our findings have important implications for public policy since they suggest that the timing of the policy is crucial: preventive educational programs should be coupled with more intense (rehabilitation) treatment at the early stages of bingeing and purging behaviors. Our results are robust to different model specifications and identifying assumptions.
