Rating: - Excellent book
This book was a great book. I could completely identify with the author and all the people she interviewed for the book.

It is a great comfort and a great book to read over and over.It was nice to know so many people know how I feel and understand my plight to diet.

This book is simply wonderful. For years I felt that no one understood what I have been going through and then I found this book. I laughed, I cried, I got angry and many points made me happy.
