Books By Ali Valenzuela - Author
When Ali Valenzuela was 14, she started to exercise obsessively and
limit her food intake - all following an incident which completely
undermined her self-confidence. By the time she was 18 - and sitting
A-level exams - her weight had fallen below 40kg (less than 6 stone)
and was on the brink of death. Ali has written this book, based on
her own diaries, because: 'I want people to understand that there is
more to anorexia than looking thin; this is an illness that will
destroy the lives of the sufferer and all who care for the sufferer,
and the thin appearance is only a physical outcome of the pain and
torment that goes on inside.' Unlike a lot of sufferers, I feel open to
talk about my experience, as I feel it may help other people and I feel
it helps me if I'm honest with myself about what I went through. I
believe everything happens for a reason, and just because I went
through a difficult experience, doesn't mean that something positive
cannot come of it.'
