This book is about my search for the truth about what caused or contributed to my life- long weight problem. In spite of my consulting doctors, nutritionists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, joining Weight Loss organizations and trying numerous diets, nothing had worked.
Because my lecturer in his feedback on one of my assignments in a counselling course said if I spent as much time looking at the “Inside Helen”- as I had on the outside Helen, “The weight may come off and stay off ” I did as he suggested by writing this book.
I looked at myself as a Greek Australian baby, schoolgirl, adolescent and adult. I connected with feelings I had previously supressed or repressed. I discovered information about eating disorders and the brain which led me to the confronting but liberating realisation that since childhood I had an undiagnosed Binge Eating Disorder. Later I found this could have been the result of forgott en trauma which had alienated me from myself and other people.
Finding the truth and reconciling myself to the past has freed me from eating compulsively. My weight is within the normal BMI range and I weigh less now than I did as a child of eleven.
Kirkus Review:
A debut memoir explores personal causes of anger and weight issues.
Gerondis, of Greek-Australian extraction, grew up in Sydney and had a Roman Catholic education. She rejected religion because she believed a literal interpretation of the biblical Adam and Eve story (Genesis 2), which she first heard from nuns at age 9, had been used to justify the subjugation of women. Years later, she was astonished to discover another Creation account, in Genesis 1, that didn’t assign blame or inferior status to women. The author’s indignation at how inequality of the sexes has, in her view, been entrenched in Catholic doctrine and social policy thanks to Genesis 2 comes through clearly in her book. “Feeling that we have all been ‘hoodwinked’ is the greatest source of why I am so angry,” she writes. But there are numerous reasons for bitterness here, as the frequent “I am angry that…” statements attest. For instance, early disappointment over her lack of higher education led to comfort eating and weight gain. Her parents did not allow her to attend university; instead, she got a kindergarten teaching diploma and later embarked on multiple part-time degrees, including one in women’s studies, while raising her seven children with her husband, Jim. Although she eventually became the first Greek-Australian woman admitted to the bar of New South Wales, she could never practice law full-time because of family commitments. Gerondis effectively investigates the sources of her eating disorder and pinpoints ongoing resentments, giving this the flavor of a therapy session transcript. Indeed, the memoir arose from an assignment for her postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy and reflects a determination to pay more attention to the “inside Helen.” But the writing style is flat; in general, this feels more like a random assortment of memories than a narrative. Certain points are made multiple times, especially about Genesis and her husband’s obsession with sports. There’s also a reluctance to wrap up: the epilogue is followed by another 50 pages’ worth of personal updates and political developments.
While the author discovers why she’s angry, she chooses to focus on lingering grudges rather than present a redemptive or educative arc.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
