All This May Not Wipe You Out: A True Story About Food Addiction, Dietary Therapy, and Love

Paperback edition, coloured images. Altea Colucci, one of three siblings and straight-A student, is the kind of girl who seems to be a winner, but whenever she needs to make up her mind about what to do or who to date, something goes wrong. The only firm decision she's taken is to go on a crash diet to lose weight. Unfortunately, this is how she'll fell into a painful and hidden condition marked by eating disorders and food addiction. Paradoxically, though, it will be the start of her journey in pursuit of the sense of life. Her parents and siblings and closest friends Carola and Eliana are all rooting for her. There are different curative approaches to treat these disorders. What combination of events and therapies will get her out of the tunnel? Anyone may be a parent, teacher, friend, date of someone like Altea, or even be Altea themselves. This book is a testimony of resilience and hope.
