Blog Tour: Author Shannon Cutts Stops By
As she is busy promoting her book, Shannon Cutts, author of Beating Ana: How to Outsmart Your Eating Disorder and Take Your Life Back took the time to stop by Tales of a (Recovering) Disordered Eater.
Now that I’ve read and reviewed her book, it was time to ask Shannon some questions.
Below are my questions and Shannon’s answers, verbatim. I hope you will find her words as powerful as I did.
But before I share our interview, I’d like to extend a special thank you to, Shannon, for taking the time to so Honestly, Openly and Willingly (H.O.W.) answer my questions. I appreciate it so very much, and I know my readers will, too. Best of luck to you on your book tour/blog tour. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Recovery IS possible; she’s living proof. (more…)

Beating Ana: The Long-Awaited Review
A while ago, I was asked to review the new book, Beating Ana, by Shannon Cutts. This weekend, I finally had a chance to read her work.
Though I personally have never experienced anorexia or bulimia — both of which she successfully recovered from — I really liked the easy flow of her writing, and the positive tone she carries throughout the book.
(Disclaimer: I’ve never read a recovery book, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect).
But even as someone who never dealt with the severe mental illnesses she did, I can still relate on my own level. I’d recommend this book to anyone ready to take that step.
I liked how she makes the connection that, in recovery, relationships replace eating disorders. (more…)

Oikos Goodness
The good people over at Stoneyfield Organic made my day last week. A marketing contact, Krisitina, wrote me asking if I had tried their Oikos Greek yogurt.
She said she knew my blog wasn’t a food blog, but knew I liked to eat well and thought I might enjoy some coupons. Um, would I? Yes please!
So Kristina sent me a package that included info on Stoneyfield Farms, a reusable grocery bag, coupons to try their Oikos Greek yogurt — the only organic Greek yogurt on the market, and some coupons for their other yogurt.
I have always loved the fact that there’s no fake sugars or additives in these yogurts and I’ve often bought Stoneyfield Farms over other brands. (more…)
