War with Myself: Achieving Victory in the Battle with Bulimia Kindle Edition

by Shani-Lee Wallis (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 64 ratings

As a child, she lived a life of abuse and bullying. As an adult, she had to battle the most challenging opponent, herself. Fighting a life-threatening disorder, she had to find a way to survive. An inspiring memoir for anyone suffering with Bulimia or mental illness.

Shani-Lee's childhood was anything but happy. Helpless and fraught with fear in a web of lies and sexual abuse, she watched as her innocence and sense of childhood wonder disintegrated, leaving behind searing embers of abuse and bullying that scarred her irrevocably.

Plummeting into an abyss of mental illness, self-abuse, and an eating disorder as an adult, Shani-Lee found herself engaged in a battle royale, not with perpetrators but rather with herself. Desperate to change and to control the narrative of her life, she embarked on a heart wrenching journey of impossible odds to final recovery.

War with Myself is an eye opening, heartfelt memoir of Shani-Lee's struggle with Bulimia and the horrific side-effects of the disorder. Courageously, she fought for her life and denied death on several occasions and finally found love and a life worth living.

In this inspirational memoir, Shani-Lee shares her shocking and compelling story in hopes that men and women engaged in similar battles will find hope, healing, and peace. It is a story that will stimulate and encourage you and others to release your inner-self, never give up, and discover love for life.

War with Myself is an honest and raw story of abuse and seemingly impossible challenges meant to help and inspire others to recovery. It is a self-help book that outlines the steps Shani-lee took on her journey battling and overcoming Bulimia.

Order your copy today and help yourself or learn how to support a loved one who is suffering from abuse or an eating disorder.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Wallis combines accounts of desperation with clinical appraisals of her experiences.
She provides much valuable information, sharing tools she's developed over the years to recognize her own triggers and "retrain" her brain to focus on healthy responses. Throughout the work, she consistently offers hope.

A gritty and unflinchingly honest remembrance with useful advice for people with bulimia and their loved ones." - Kirkus

Shani-Lee grew up in Newcastle, England with childhood secrets that manifested into a battle with Bulimia.

She emigrated to Arizona, where she started to unpeel the complex layers of emotions that her secrets had inflicted. As she incorporated life-changing habits into her lifestyle, she was able to heal and overcome her turbulent and dangerous relationship with her eating disorder.

Writing was always just a therapeutic outlet until she realized she had something valuable to share. Turning her own journey of self-help into a path to help others, is how War with Myself was born.

When she’s not working in the mortgage industry or writing, Shani-Lee spends most of her time goofing around with her adventurous family, reading, and exploring new sites with friends. Shani-Lee lives a fulfilled life with her husband and four children. Two of which are fur babies.

    The authors powerful testimony of her journey through abuse, bullying and internal warfare manifesting itself through her battle with bulimia gripped me, that once I started reading this, I spent the better part of the night reading unable to put it down. I shared what I was reading with my husband and shared how captivating it was. I cried as the words on the page touched my soul and then rejoiced knowing that where there was once hurt and brokenness was now replaced with Hope, Joy and Happiness.

    I’m honestly glad I paid less than a pound for this.
    She’s not a natural writer, she glossed over her life but went on about various men, very droning whilst being very short?
    I don’t think she adds anything to the conversation around eating disorders. Would not recommend.
