Overcoming body-shaming and unhealthy habits.

Elevator Food could be a good read for anyone struggling with body image and disordered eating habits. The book follows Angeline's journey as she tries to become slimmer and prettier, but eventually slips into the dangerous territory of anorexia and bulimia. The unique feature of this book is its honest portrayal of the consequences of unhealthy dieting and the toll it can take on one's health and self-esteem. Overall, the book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of body-shaming and the importance of self-love and acceptance.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Angeline wants to be slimmer and prettier. Compared to her beautiful sister Linnie and her handsome brother Derrick, Angeline feels like an overweight hippopotamus. And to make things harder, her friends are also pretty. Angeline wishes she could do something to make herself look better. When she doesn't get a date for Valentine's Day, Angeline decides to do something about her looks. She starts on a strict exercise and diet regime that produces results. But it doesn't take long before she balloons back to her original weight. Desperate, she turns to diet pills and exercising more and eventually, she slips down the path toward anorexia and bulimia. When her friends decide to enter a magazine's cover girl contest, Angeline panics and redoubles her efforts. But her health is failing, her self-esteem is shaky and she's headed for a major health disaster if she doesn't stop her crazy bingeing and dieting. But the mirror is showing such a slim and pretty girl. How can she stop now? Elevator Food is part of the Crossroads series.
