Description

This book is about Lotta Dann's journey with extreme dieting and drastic weight loss. She was endlessly praised for her skinny body but no one knew what she had to do to maintain it.

This is also a book about the devastation and shame she experienced when the diet stopped working, the weight came back on (and then some), and the compliments dried up.

But mostly, this is a book about the eye-opening journey she has been on since her epic diet fail. A journey in which she started asking fundamental questions that she'd never considered before.

Why do we believe that to be healthy you must be skinny Why do we think any measure of fat on our body is bad Why do so many of us hate our bodies And why do we spend so much time, money and energy trying to shrink ourselves

The answers surprised her, angered her, and ultimately empowered her. She thinks they will for you too.
