Living with B: A College Girl's Struggle with Bulimia and Everyday Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780557498826)

At 21, Nicole has struggled with bulimia for six years. Desperate to overcome her addiction, or so she thinks, she seeks out Jake, a therapist, for help. She quickly learns her relationship with B- the persona created to embody this "thing" she fights with constantly - involves more than she anticipated. Yet, life doesn't wait for Nicole to overcome her problems and simultaneously bombards her with the stress of an end-of-year Christmas party, everyday eating worries, and a family vacation to London jeopardizing her grade in a class with an unforgiving professor. Suddenly, Nicole find her world flipped upside down...or maybe just temporarily sideways and backwards...and consumed by friends, family, school, therapy, and the ever-present, sometimes ironic, occasionally funny but usually just annoying voice of B inside her head. The question becomes, can she finally live without him? Nicole's story is a supportive, honest, reflective, and occasionally humorous look at what it takes to overcome an eating disorder.
