“Kimber's courageous memoir fills a gap in the literature, exposing both the preoccupied suffering of an eating disorder and the healing that occurs when she satiates her spiritual hunger with the practice of yoga. As a therapist who works extensively with these issues, I highly recommend Full to anyone struggling with an eating disorder or who desires to strengthen their relationship to food, body, and self.”
—Signe Darpinian, author of Knock Out Dieting
“If you can read only one memoir about eating disorder recovery, read Full. Kimber's writing is generously dosed with humor and wisdom, filled with marvelous insight, and never shies away from the difficulty of the undertaking. She brings the struggle and recovery alive on the page and makes it feel possible for all of us.”
—Tamara Gerlach, author of Cultivating Radiance
“Step away from the scale, ditch the measuring tape, and chuck the BMI chart. Then settle in with a cup of tea and let Kimber guide you on her humorous and touching journey to leave diet talk behind and learn to listen to-and love-her body. Full is a nourishing feast for the soul.”
—Linda Bacon, PhD, coauthor of Body Respect
