About this title

Synopsis

"It had been hours since I ran at track practice that winter, but I hadn't bothered to shower, let alone change clothes. No, I didn't have time for that, because I had found the answer to my prayers.

This has to be it.
Eat all the fruit you want.
Never get fat.
Raw. Food. Diet."

Rachael Steil clocked in as an All-American collegiate runner; she became a girl clawing for a comeback on a 30-bananas-a-day diet. This year-long struggle with raw food ended when she realized she had to find her self-respect beyond her identity as a successful runner on a perfect diet. Running in Silence opens the door on the secret world of eating disorders. It provides vital insights for those who don't suffer from this disease and an honest and harrowing personal story for those who do. Steil challenges the stigma of eating disorders, looks past appearance, and dives into the heart of obsession.

"Rachael Steil is a talented writer dedicated to sharing her journey, her struggle, and her most vulnerable moments to help others. Her courage shines through on the pages of Running in Silence. "--Jennifer DiGennaro, certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and founder of Nourished Energy

"Not all of us can identify with eating disorders, but Running in Silence gives a star athlete's perspective of what it's like. The decline and then the journey back is a compelling story that gives us hope that any of us can recover from our challenges." --Don Kern, adventure runner and the director of the Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon

"Rachael Steil has written a powerful book which began as a series of blog posts in the midst of her struggle with an eating disorder as a collegiate runner. Intended as a self-help guide, this book will also be useful to the coaching and sports medicine community which surrounds athletes, helping alert them to the important message that eating disorders are not just about weight." --Gail Hall, LMSW, CEDS, Director of Comprehensive Treatment for Eating Disorders, and co-founder of the Michigan Eating Disorders Alliance

"Running in Silence is unique in its inclusion of questions at chapter ends about different aspects of the author's journey and her reflections about the variety of behaviors that can be associated with eating disorders. These questions, and the detailed description of the author's life, make the book an important contribution to the literature on this topic."--Susan Haworth-Hoeppner, Professor of Sociology at Aquinas College and author of Family, Culture, and Self in the Development of Eating Disorders
