E-Books →Dear Body What I Lost, What I Gained, and What I Learned Along the Way

Raised in a turbulent home, Brittany Williams learned to use food as a coping mechanism to manage her feelings at a young age. When she was 14, a family member's comment "no man will want you with a pudgy figure like that" forever changed the way she viewed her body and opened a door, new and alluring, into the world of self-loathing, self-punishment, and dieting.
Told with Brittany's unflagging honesty and trademark vulnerability, Dear Body describes the tensions of growing up in a body that often felt more like a traitor than a friend. She details the slow but steady work that went into dismantling hard-wired behaviors as she learned to trust in herself, even as she faced setbacks like heartbreak, pregnancy loss, and marital infidelity. As we share in her deepest moments of joy and heartache, Brittany reveals that the path to healing requires much more than changing what you eat, and explains how she was finally able to take charge of the course of her health and her life.
Filled with poignant lessons and hard-won advice, Dear Body is the story of a woman's relationship with her body, and herself. A story unique to Brittany, but familiar to all of us.
