I struggled with ED symptoms from age 14-early 20's, then LIFE took over (kids, career, etc.) and I became less self absorbed, and didn't really have a problem for a long time.<BR/><BR/>Now that the kids are older, and my life is more settled, the old demons seem to be returning a bit. I can say that almost all of my friends also deal with weight issues. I think as women age and put on weight due to a slower metabolism and deal with issues of losing our youth/prospect of death... it combines to make our weight "control" seem more important (than it should!).<BR/><BR/>I agree with many of the previous posters- your book will be one that would appeal to all ages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-8969394609688519012007-06-21T06:52:00.000-04:002007-06-21T06:52:00.000-04:00I'm 31 !I'm 31 !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-50655509497955860762007-06-08T15:43:00.000-04:002007-06-08T15:43:00.000-04:00Hi,Thanks for writing such a good weblog!

I've been on diets since that time with my involvement (as opposed to having them rammed down my throat). I was hospitalized at age 9 for kidney failure after strictly following Atkins for three weeks.<BR/><BR/>The moment I could get out of the house at age 16, I haven't looked back. While I struggled with various eating issues throughout my 20s, I haven't owned a scale in the past decade. I am "moderately obese" and I do mostly ok with that. So long as I don't talk to anyone in my family, who are CRAZY obsessed with weight. <BR/><BR/>I probably wouldn't be the right market for the book, because the truth of its message is simply too obvious for me to spend money on it. ;) But I think that the core of coming to grips with this problem is somewhere in the early to mid 20s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-17694865704375430052007-03-30T05:12:00.000-04:002007-03-30T05:12:00.000-04:002323Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-31977394691391402482007-03-20T18:34:00.000-04:002007-03-20T18:34:00.000-04:00I am almost 32.
