F*ck restrictions and your mom too

19-year-old Victoria Schapiro takes us behind the scenes of a life with an eating disorder and her Generation Z struggles in this honest, raw, scary, yet hilarious memoir-slash-self-help book. F*CK RESTRICTIONS – AND YOUR MOM TOO is a story about sex, exercise, addiction, independence, and hope; about how she was taken prisoner in her own life, and how she – finally – managed to escape. I was 14 years old when I developed an eating disorder. Toxic relationships, hormonal overload, fake boobs on social media, and my mom's Botox obsession riddled me with anxiety, low self-esteem, and distress, which manifested into an eating disorder. This book reveals my journey – and the importance of speaking up about your struggles. I will take you from the first restriction to the years beyond, vividly portraying my battle with addiction and disordered eating. Written with candor and humor, Victoria’s story is a heartfelt attack on one of the major problems in modern society: diet culture. Her wish is to ignite a belief in you, that you can do the same. The book is published in an English and a Danish version, since Victoria wrote the original manuscript in English. VICTORIA SCHAPIRO (2003) was born and raised in Copenhagen. Since 8th grade she has been struggling with a restrictive eating disorder, causing social isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Thanks to professional treatment, Victoria is now happier than she has been in years. Victoria is a graduate of Niels Brock International Business College. When she is not reading age-inappropriate enemies-to-lovers novels, she can be found in the gym, eating peanut butter, spending time with her family, watching “Shrek” for the 100th -something time or stand-up specials with her mom (they reconciled after the book).

19-ÅRIGE VICTORIA SCHAPIRO FORTÆLLER RÅT FOR usødet om livet med en spiseforstyrrelse som ung dansk generation Z ’er i denne ærlige, skræmmende, men også morsomme selvbiografi-møder-selvhjælpsbog. F*CK RESTRICTIONS – AND YOUR MOM TOO er en fortælling om kærester, sex, træningsnarkomani, afhængighed, frihed og håb. Det er historien om, hvordan Victoria blev fanget i sit eget liv, og hvordan hun – omsider – slap ud igen. Jeg var fjorten, da jeg udviklede en spiseforstyrrelse. Dårlige relationer, hormonel overload, min mors Botox-besættelse og kunstige bryster på sociale medier fuckede mit hoved op og gav mig angst, lavt selvværd og stress. Det resulterede i, at jeg begyndte at kontrollere min mad. Denne bog fortæller om min rejse – fra den første uskyldige slankekur til nonstop sult, selvpineri og sammenbrud – og vejen tilbage igen takket være professional hjælp. Fortalt med vid, bid og selvudleverende humor, er det Victorias håb, at hendes historie kan være et wakeupcall i forhold til diætkulturen, som med sociale medier er blevet et ræs mod afgrunden, der koster liv. Bogen udkommer både i en dansk og engelsk version, idet Victoria skrev det oprindelige manuskript på engelsk. VICTORIA SCHAPIRO (f. 2003) er fra København. Hun har kæmpet med en restriktiv spiseforstyrrelse siden ottende klasse, som har resulteret i social isolation, depression og selvmordstanker. Efter at have været i behandling er hun i dag gladere, end hun har været i mange år. Victoria er uddannet på Niels Brocks Handelsskole. Når hun ikke læser upassende kærlighedsromaner (for voksne), er hun som regel i fitnesscentret eller sammen med sin familie, i gang med at spise peanutbutter eller se ”Shrek” for 117. gang (eller standup-shows med sin mor – de blev genforenet efter bogen).
