I gave this three stars because the book was well-written and enjoyable, but not amazing.
However, it was nice to see an eating disorder book that WASN'T about anorexia or bulimia.

I had to stop reading about how terrible food made her life. I'm sure the ending has some sort of happiness to it.. obviously, she wrote a book. BUT.. i couldn't get past the first third of it.

This book ended up being a lot more about depression than about compulsive eating. It was a pretty good read (well written, engaging), but not as terribly different from other mental health memoirs I've read.

I felt sad at the end of the book when she didn't give us the true secret of getting and staying thin. Then I remembered this was a memoir - a story of her journey - not a self-help book and I became grateful for her honesty. Very well written. A story not only of a woman's battle with her weight, but with her mental health. A picture of the challenges of dealing with mental illness and how it is treated in children and adults. Moving. Worth reading again.
