It Was Me All Along
All her life, Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter, her best friend, her confidant, and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her twentieth birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake.
It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome, from morbidly obese to half her size, from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite (but modest) bowls of handmade pasta. This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It is about someone who made changes when her situation seemed too far gone and how she discovered balance in an off-kilter world. More than anything, though, it is the story of her finding beauty in acceptance and learning to love all parts of herself.

a little mark03-11听的audiobook 作者声音太好听了。一个人的饮食习惯真的和家庭成长环境有很大的关系。听的时候勾起了我很多回忆，最黑暗的初中时代，我也以狂吃减去青春期的痛苦。当时我是班上最胖的女生之一，虽然没有super big but relatively fat. 到了高中才慢慢瘦下来。但对体重的深深自卑一直到今天，看到食物总是有一种复杂的心情。我希望有一天我能像作者一样坦然接受自我。我希望我能对自己说 I am beautiful the way I am, fat or thin.
