In 1995, Hadley Freeman wrote in her diary: “I just spent three years of my life in mental hospitals. So why am I crazier than I was before????” From the ages of 14 to 17, Freeman lived in psychiatric wards after developing anorexia nervosa. Her doctors informed her that her body was cannibalizing her muscles and heart for nutrition, but they could tell her little else: why she had it, what it felt like, what recovery looked like. For the next twenty years, Freeman lived as a “functioning anorexic,” grappling with new forms of self-destructive behavior as the anorexia mutated and persisted.

It’s not a bad book in sum, though I found that Freeman was sometimes citing her own experiences as if they were research-backed findings and therefore absolute fact. What completely turned me off was the totally unnecessary addition of Freeman’s opinions on trans kids and gender affirming care. It was off topic and she literally could not keep the audible contempt out of her voice while narrating. It was just inappropriate.

A truly excellent book, but a content warning (ED)

I absolutely loved this book overall. It was inspiring and had great practical advice I put to use almost immediately. Amby Burfoot is welcoming to all runners, and encourages a self-compassionate approach to running. This book prompts you to think about why you run, and to try your best but be gentle with yourself.
I completely understand that many people come to running with weight loss goals, and that being overweight/obese puts more stress on your joints, etc. However, if you have struggled with disordered eating or body image issues, this may not be the book for you. Burfoot includes advice chapters like "No post-run snacking" and "Lose 10 pounds," and includes descriptions of how easy it is to eat more kcals than you burn during a run, and a calculation for how much slower each pound of body weight makes you. Disordered eating and restriction are quite common among runners, and this advice may be harmful to this group. If you'd still like to read it, skip Burfoot's "Nutrition" chapter, and the couple sub-chapters regarding food and body weight.
