Andie grew up like many leaning on food for comfort. This lead to her being overweight for some of her childhood all through her teenage years and a few years into her adult life. She struggled with her relationship with food as there always was a surplus of it in her house and good habits weren't instilled in her growing up. When her dad passed away she leaned on food even harder. It helped her get through and feel whole.
Andie tried many different diets but none seemed to do the job. The book explains how she got to where she is today and how she became such a success.
I have a lot of respect for Andie. Not only did she overcome a struggle she had been dealing with her whole life but she also has kept all the weight off and managed to live a happy and healthy life style.
This book is for food lovers. This book is for those who struggle with food. Really this book is for all people no matter what your relationship with food is.
Andie is smart, funny and truly remarkable. She has a ted talk below that is a great summary of some of the things she talks about in her book. Check it out! She is truly inspirational.
