Escaping from Food Coma: The Literal Ups and Downs of Life With an Eating Disorder

By Diana Worden Karmin

After stepping on her bathroom scale in the summer of 2010, Diana Worden Karmin finally decided that - at 52 years old and weighing 263 pounds - it was time to escape from the crushing chest pains, the nearly crippling joint pain, and the deepening depression with a goal of getting under 200 pounds. By January 2011, after months of dieting and exercise, she slipped into a pair of Size 16 jeans and felt absolutely triumphant. Eighteen months later, she had not only met - but far exceeded her original goal - by (ever so briefly) fitting into a Size 2. Over her lifetime she's worn every size from a 22 to that elusive Size 2...which explains why she owes Lord & Taylor over $3000 Diana has documented her struggles in Escaping From Food Coma - The Literal Ups and Downs of Life with an Eating Disorder by blending soul-baring vignettes with a healthy dose of humor and an even bigger serving of sarcasm.
