The Monster Within

Cynthia Rowland was an award-winning television journalist who suffered in secret for more than twelve years. Obsessed with frenzied urges to eat, forced vomiting, and purges with laxatives and diuretics, she was close to death from an electroyte imbalance. She could consume up to twenty thousand calories a day and not gain weight. Suicide was often on Cynthia's mind. It seemed the only way to escape the hopelessness she left.
