Okay but leans a bit towards fatphobia in its messages. It's all 'I was fat, and that was the worst thing humanly possible!', the unpleasantness and dangers of eating disorders are skimmed over (it's pretty much tucked in in passing that she's been purging), and the end is sort of like...'well, you're slimmer now, so stop puking and start eating salad instead of pasta and everything will be great!' It's for a younger audience, though, so you aren't going to get the complexity you might get with something for an older audience.
