In high school, Gary Grahl was handsome, popular, and his athletic abilities attracted the attention of the big leagues..that was until "IT," a shaming inner-voice convinced him to be ever thinner. His out-of-control compulsion to exercise and starve himself led to multiple hospitalizations, and a life and death battle to win control over the pervasive and dangerous "IT."

Grahl is now a licensed professional counselor, and he possesses the unique perspective of both patient and healer. This powerful story shows how to win the battle between mind and body, and conquer the out-of-control thoughts and feelings common in many of us.
