Resources on eating disorders for the middle-grade set are few and far between, but Petro-Roy writes for this age group with knowledge, compassion, empathy, and inclusivity. While she identifies as a straight, cis white female, she makes a concerted effort to acknowledge and include stories and statistics pertaining to men and boys, the queer community, and people of different racial or cultural backgrounds. After relaying her personal struggles with anorexia nervosa and her journey to recovery, Petro-Roy organizes her book into four parts that can be read in any order: "About Eating Disorders," "Tools and Information for Recovery," "Society, Role Models, Family, and Media," and "As You Recover." Throughout, Petro-Roy shares her experiences, fears, and failures, while emphasizing that everyone's stories and bodies are different d that's OK! She also includes information on a range of treatment options, openly acknowledging how expense can impact one's choices. Petro-Roy's encouragement and honesty will speak to readers who might be dealing with disordered eating, and the book's information, exercises, and resources will hopefully set them on their own paths to recovery. (For a fictional exploration of a similar topic, see Petro-Roy's Good Enough, on page xx.)

A self-help guide that answers your questions about body image and disordered eating This nonfiction self-help book for young readers with disordered eating and body image problems delivers real talk about eating disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so much to disordered eating. You Are Enough answers questions like: * What are eating disorders? * What types of treatment are available for eating disorders? * What is anxiety? * How can you relax? * What is cognitive reframing? * Why are measurements like BMI flawed and arbitrary? * What is imposter syndrome? * How do our role models affect us? * How do you deal with body changes? . . . just to name a few. Many eating disorder books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the eating disorder conversation, and this book is written with a special eye to inclusivity, so that people of any gender, socioeconomic group, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or chronic illness can benefit. Eating disorder survivor Jen Petro-Roy draws from her own experience with anorexia, OCD, and over-exercising, as well as research and interviews with survivors and medical professionals, to deliver a toolkit for recovery, written in a easy-to-understand, conversational way.
