Wollongong writer Marion Maclean’s book ‘Defeating Anorexia Athletica’ is an extraordinary true story, charting her life-threatening battle with Anorexia Athletica: obsessive-compulsive exercise addiction. Marion began writing her story to bring healing and closure to the myriad issues affecting her life, she ultimately wanted to tell her story to raise awareness of Anorexia Athletica, the addiction to exercise – still a relatively unexplored topic – and deliver fresh hope and understanding to anyone touched by addiction, depression, anorexia or mental illness.
