Synopsis
We’ve all seen the person in the gym that everyone wants to be like. The one with the 6-pack abs and ideal physique, who gets up at 5 a.m. to train every day, sharing perfect meals and healthy lifestyle posts on social media, and looks like the happiest person alive. That person often cries behind closed doors, wishing they could stop. Stop trying to control, stop trying to be the best, stop trying to look so perfect, stop trying to win approval…
Thirty-six hours before her first Ironman race, Demetra is told by a cardiologist not to race. After a year of planning, training, overcoming injury and surgery, reaching her highest fitness level ever, with a chance at qualifying for the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, the doctor asks her not to race. He reminds her that her 6 year old son needs her. It’s not worth the risk.
To heal, Demetra takes a deep dive into the roots of what drove her athletic success that hid two decades of struggling with an eating disorder. She shares her journey in hopes of helping others running the never-ending race against themselves and provide insight for family and friends looking to support a loved one on a similar path. This book shatters our ideals of what an eating disorder looks like and uncovers more of what it behaves like, what drives it, and how easily it hides, especially in a young, driven, female athlete.
