It Was Me All Along

《一直都是我》

Author： Andie Mitchell

Publisher： Clarkson Potter

A heartbreakingly honest， endearing memoir of incredible weight loss by a young food blogger who battles body image issues and overcomes food addiction to find self-acceptance.

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.

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.

一本心碎、誠實而又可愛的回憶錄，記錄了作者與形象問題作斗爭、克服食物上癮以及重新自我接受的心路歷程。一直以來，把食物當(dāng)作精神支柱的作者都是毫無節(jié)制地飲食，直到20歲生日那一天，測完體重的她才意識到是時候去改變對食物的依賴和重新找回自己。這本書描述了一個女孩如何在必須做出改變的時候做出努力，以及又是如何在光怪陸離的世界找到平衡。并且，更重要的是，她在接受中發(fā)現(xiàn)了美麗，并學(xué)會了愛自己的所有部分。
