Description: Saving Sara by Sara Somers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sara Somers cant stop eating or bingeing. She is drowning in shame and self-hatred and wants more than anything to be loved, thin, and normal, yet she alienates her family and others by refusing help-until she embraces the path to recovery, and eventually arrives at acceptance. Publisher Description For nearly fifty years, Sara Somers suffered from untreated food addiction. In this brutally honest and intimate memoir, Somers offers readers an inside view of a food addicts mind, showcasing her experiences of obsessive cravings, compulsivity, and powerlessness regarding food.Saving Sara chronicles Somerss addiction from childhood to adulthood, beginning with abnormal eating as a nine-year-old. As her addiction progresses in young adulthood, she becomes isolated, masking her shame and self-hatred with drugs and alcohol. Time and again, she rationalizes why this time will be different, only to have her physical cravings lead to ever-worse binges, to see her promises of doing things differently next time broken, and to experience the amnesia that she-like every addict-experiences when her obsession sets in again.Even after Somers is introduced to the solution that will eventually end up saving her, the strength of her addiction wont allow her to accept her disease. Twenty-six more years pass until she finally crawls on hands and knees back to that solution, and learns to live life on lifes terms. A raw account of Somerss decades-long journey, Saving Sara underscores the challenges faced by food addicts of any age-and the hope that exists for them all. Author Biography Sara Somers suffered from food addiction from age nine to age fifty-eight; she has been in food recovery since 2005. In a double life of sorts, Somers worked as a licensed psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay Area for thirty-four years. After finding recovery, Somers moved to Paris, France, where she currently lives. She writes a blog called Out My Window: My Life in Paris. When shes not writing, Somers volunteers at the American Library in Paris, enjoys the cinema, reads prolifically, and follows her favorite baseball team, the Oakland Athletics.
