Jenni Schaefer, a recovered bulimic, has helped change the face of eating disorder awareness and recovery. She coauthored her first book, Life Without Ed, with her psychotherapist, who taught her to treat her eating disorder as a relationship rather than an illness or condition. Schaefer actually named her anorexia/bulimia "Ed," an acronym for "eating disorder." Her new book, Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover from Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life, tackles the transition from recovery to liberation. Jenni Schaefer is a consultant with the Center for Change in Orem, Utah, and a contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul. She is a regular guest on national radio and television, including appearances on Dr. Phil and Entertainment Tonight. Part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
