Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia
I was able to relate on a certain level with Portia’s book since as a girl and a woman, at one point in time, you just felt like you couldn’t measure up with your peer group especially during high school and the early college years. With magazines and TV and how they portray the rail-thin and skinny models, while you are reading, you find yourself transported to the situation that she is facing and the need to succeed and fit in and doing everything that is necessary to do it.
I truly appreciated Portia sharing her story and her battle with anorexia and bulimia; I know it had to be tough. However, if you are looking for answers or to help you with your recovery or a loved one’s recovery, this is not the book to read for instruction or information to overcome these disorders.
