Sample Book Insights:

#1 I wanted my friends to love my house and be impressed with it, so I prepared the most fattening thing I could think of: jalapeño corn casserole. I loved how when I was with food, time slowed for a few moments and life felt less full of stress.

#2 I was always prepared to receive guests, even though I didn’t feel ready. I had gained fifty pounds since my wedding several months back. I was sure they must have noticed but they had excellent poker faces.

#3 I had done Weight Watchers with Blair and Erin, and it had been successful for them, but not for me. I had lost eighty pounds in six months, then gained every single pound multiple times on the weight loss roller coaster. I had been trying to be more like Blair.

#4 I loved my husband, Sean, but I was also very aware of how different our lives were. He worked out of town Monday through Friday, and we only saw each other on weekends. I was lonely, even though I knew he loved me.
