The Good Eater: The True Story of One Man's Struggle With Binge Eating Disorder, by Ron Saxen
Quote:
From Newsweek,
Ron Saxen's problem with binge eating started when he was 11. He hid the disorder well enough—through exercise and yo-yo dieting—to sign a modeling contract at the age of 21, when he was 6 feet 1 and weighed 179 pounds. But the pressure to remain thin proved to be too much. He quit the catwalk and eventually ballooned to 295 pounds. "In the darkest days, I would get two Big Macs, a large order of fries and a chocolate shake, then pull into Taco Bell before finishing my McDonald's," says Saxen, author of "The Good Eater: The True Story of One Man's Struggle With Binge Eating Disorder" due out next month.

I thought this sounded quite interesting, definitely have to put it on my list of books to read. Unfortunately I can easily identify with the fast food binges.
