Do you have questions about eating disorder recovery that you haven’t been able to find answers to? Ever wish you could ask a whole bunch of people who’ve already been through the process?
You’re not alone. A few years ago, I used to wonder: Was I going to become overweight if I allowed myself to “just eat?” How was I supposed to eat “normally” if I had to go out to a restaurant with other people? How would I answer awkward questions about my eating habits? Was I ever going to not feel obsessive about my body, or what I was eating, or how much I was exercising?
I set out to find those answers, by talking to over 100 people in recovery from across the United States and beyond. I’ll share everything I’ve learned with you in early 2013, when I publish my book, Life with Cheeseburgers. In it you’ll find real tips and professional advice, interspersed throughout the story of how I not only recovered, but began living the life I’d always dreamed of living: I’m healthy, married to someone so perfect for me I sometimes feel like pinching myself, and actually pursuing some of the professional dreams that I once was too afraid of failing to even attempt.
It happened for me, and it can happen for you, too. Stay posted for all of the book details (and lots of great tips on health and relationships) right here on my blog!
Love, Hope, and Prayers,
Justine Duppong

I can’t wait to read it! I work with Eating Disorders and had experienced one myself.
Thanks Jennifer! I’m sure you have tons of great things to say about recovery too!
I’m so happy that I found your site, I am have just accomplished 6 months of abstinence from a 20 year long bulimia/food addiction. I am still such a work in progress and need so much guidance, but I can honestly say that the biggest reason I am here is God. I started seeking God and attending meetings, and have a new life. Food is still hard and confusing.. what to eat, when, how, but I really thank God that I found your site.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing. There are so many days when I wonder if what I’m trying to do is having an effect, and so it really is hearing from people like you that keeps me going. And you know what? I think we ALL are a work in progress, in one way or another! Even when we get to the place we want to be when it comes to food or whatever, there are always other areas we would like to work on.
God is amazing. It’s funny how, once you begin to really trust in Him, His plan, and the TIMING of that plan, you find that everything begins to just fall into place. What a wonderful experience!
Congratulations on your abstinence–YOU are amazing and I know you will be such an inspiration in the lives of many. God bless you and I hope we will keep in touch!
