A woman makes a drastic change to lose weight. She journals all her feelings, good and bad as well as how other people react to her weight. It includes a couple of recipes for her favorite diet food. She is very honest in relating what got her to the point that she needs a doctor supervised plan. Anyone who has struggled with weight issues will definitely feel an affinity for the author.

This book is a hilarious account of a woman who is brutally honest about how her weight affects her daily life. She tells all, and it is very sad in some parts. She takes you through her journey through the years that it took for her to learn how to eat healthy.
