These books were written for people struggling with issues stemming from body image, dieting, emotional eating, and eating disorders, and for professionals who help people suffering with these issues. These books are not light reading. The content and information presented is meant to help the reader to see things from a different point of view.  For this to happen, you might need to read, study, cross reference, and reread different chapters from each book in the series. From a change in perspective, the goal is to see from a larger vantage point, to think differently, and to ask questions that might have uncomfortable answers. If you are looking for light-hearted easy reading, these books are not for you.

The Goals of the Thin Supremacy Book Series

Written by Author Robin Phipps Woodall

This entire series of books was originally written as one book. As I realized it was too large and covered too wide a range of complex information for one book, I decided to split the information into four parts. I published each section as its own book, in order of the first (Thin Supremacy), second (Diet Supremacy), and third book (Body Supremacy). These three books I call the Thin Supremacy series. The last section of the original book is the final book—Surrendering Your Survival. I see this book as the central cornerstone to the entire series—it provides the most important instructions toward recovery. The Thin Supremacy series is support for Surrendering Your Survival, and vice versa. They all work better together than they do separate.

A simple way to understand how these books work together is that the three Thin Supremacy series books were written as a way to observe eating disorders from an evolutionary psychological perspective, and to try to find sense in why people’s relationship with their body and food can get so disordered. These books have more academic and intellectual content about eating disorders that is meant to be studied by people who are suffering, and also by professionals who help people dealing with these issues. However, intellect about the problem doesn’t necessarily provide what's needed when it comes to letting your eating disorder go in order to get on the path toward recovery. Surrendering Your Survival is about letting go and getting on that path.

Surrendering Your Survival—A Conscious Path to Eating Disorder Recovery provides directions toward escaping the torments of eating disorder hell. In this book I speak from my own understanding of the torment and suffering of an eating disorder, and from my own experience escaping and recovery from it. I wrote Surrendering Your Survival to speak heart to heart with those who are inside the dark cage of their eating disorder. I articulate the survival terror experienced by those who are a prisoner to their disordered behaviors, and provide clarity about what it will take in order to willfully choose to surrender the safety that those behaviors supply. When reading this book, it will feel as if I’m sitting with you in that darkness, with compassion for why you are in such a state of terror and anguish, showing and describing the path you’ll need to take in order to escape.

Surrendering Your Survival describes what will need to be sacrificed, what has to be accepted, and the price that must be paid to take the path that leads to recovery. I give the reader a look into what recovery feels like, a method guided by the body to relearn a functional way to eat, and send a message of hope to those who are seeking freedom from an eating disorder.

Thin Supremacy: Body Image and Our Cultural Battle with Weight focuses and discusses the underlying psychological mechanisms and societal belief systems that encourages people to reinforce unrealistic body images. For people who internalize these images, they are more likely to experience feelings of shame when their body is different. This shame is a primary motivation for why people diet and why people eat emotionally. I believe emotional eating issues are just a symptom, projected out from mechanisms meant to protect life, coming from the desire to “fit in” and feel lovable through body image.

Diet Supremacy: The Toxic Bond Between Shame, Dieting, and Emotional Eating describes the survival mechanisms that are triggered as the struggle to accept body fat promotes an anxiety-ridden conflict between dieting—and the survival urges to gain access to food and to eat in self-defense. I believe the cognitive distortions about one’s body and food, like dysmorphia, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking, are from a clash between the psychological drive to belong, fit in, and be accepted—and the more vital, more important need to survive with food.

Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torment of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome goes deeper into the mind and darkness of eating disorders. This book discusses the possibility that eating disorders might be more of a syndrome, where compliance is a form of self-preservation necessary to survive in narcissistic cultures where codependency and trauma bonding might be more prevalent. I believe people who suffer with an eating disorder hold themselves to abusive and inhumane controls—like someone with Stockholm Syndrome—because they believe that’s what’s required in order to earn safety, acceptance, and love from the narcissistic supremacy (their captor) that has power and control over their survival needs.
