As a Psychotherapist, I feel this is a very important book … a rare gem … it combines personal and clinical insight into numerous prominent themes that bring clients into therapy … in a relatable, often humorous way … how sad I felt when it was finished … searingly honest … a fascinating and intriguing story.
-- Sinead Kavanaugh
Very well-written and compelling … shows the particular devastation of judgement and profound misunderstanding of the nature of the disease as a mental illness. It also shows how inept treatment can make the disease worse. It could be a manual for what not to do as the parent of a food addict.
-- Dr. Joan Ifland, Food Addiction Education
This book would be particularly helpful for individuals suffering from childhood trauma and family dysfunction … Natalie offers multiple examples -- physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual -- on how she came to work through her food addiction and binge eating.

Highly recommended for any who struggle with obesity or addiction … Its blend of autobiography and insights wraps all this in a cloak of personal experience that invites both binge eaters and their loved ones to read, relate, and understand the confusion surrounding losing weight, self-image, and family interactions.

Binge Crazy leads the reader from misunderstanding to understanding, from feelings of being ‘crazy’ to health and well-being, and from despair to hope.
