Opis

You may feel like you will never lose the weight. But no amount of fat can change the fact that, underneath it all, the real you is skinny.

If you're looking for a "diet" book, keep looking. Instead, this is the story of a real-life journey from fat to thin. It portrays a transformation from frustration to contentment, from desperation to maturity, and from grief to life.

This book is not for everybody. Some people don't need it. Others can't handle it. For the rest of us, it is a source of inspiration and liberation.

PRAISE

"Everything ... just makes perfect sense"
"I just signed up for a 5K, and I am one of those people who hates to run ... wow ... tears in my eyes"
"I'm abandoning the starving and the tears and the fasting"
"Literally my inspiration to throw my anorexic tendencies out the window"
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me to stop bingeing and purging ... you've saved me from the worst thing in my life"
"Inspired me to shed my unhealthy and destructive behaviours and attitudes towards weight loss ... I've not only seen a change in my body, but I am now also in a better place mentally, and for the first time in years I can truly say I am totally content with my life"
"Thank you for giving me hope that I really can become the healthy, happy person I've been trying to find for what seems like forever now"
