This is not a weight-loss memoir. It is a badly structured tale of one whiny woman who refuses get help for her eating disorder, somehow thinking that dieting will help. She loses some weight at first, but then spirals back into disordered eating, gains it back and never comes back out.The worst thing (in terms of the writing) is that she admits to tacking falsely-hopeful endings on her magazine articles about weight-loss, and then tacks on the same kind of ending to this book.Sorry, Courtney, the book makes poor reading because there was no real development to your story. I hope you find a way to resolve that chapter of your life. When you do, I'd be interested in hearing about it from a more empowered place.
