Description
A hilarious and inspiring memoir about one young woman's journey to find a better path to both physical and mental health.
At 29, Kelsey Miller had done it all: crash diets, healthy diets, and nutritionist-prescribed "eating plans", which are diets that you pay more money for. She'd been fighting her un-thin body since early childhood and, after a lifetime of failure, finally hit bottom. No diet could transform her body or her life. There was no shortcut to skinny salvation. She'd dug herself into this hole, and now it was time to climb out of it.
With the help of an intuitive eating coach and fitness professionals, she learned how to eat based on her body's instincts and exercise sustainably, without obsessing over calories burned and thighs gapped. But with each thrilling step toward a healthy future, she had to contend with the painful truths of her past.
Big Girl chronicles Kelsey's journey into self-loathing and disordered eating - and out of it. This is a memoir for anyone who's dealt with a distorted body image, food issues, or a dysfunctional family. It's for the late bloomers and the not yet bloomed. It's for everyone who's tried and failed and felt like a big, fat loser. So, basically, everyone.

Amazing!
Not what I expected but totally loved it. Performance was great and the lessons she learned were relevant. It's unfortunate that so many young women have to go through the same things.

Funny and Heartbreaking
Having never read any of Kelsey Miller’s other literary accompaniments, I didn’t really know what I was in for, but I really wanted to hear her take on intuitive eating and I always find it helpful to hear other perspectives. At times I found it hard to listen to. Not because it there was anything wrong with it. Purely because of the heartbreaking path she had to take to get where she is today. I could relate, and I think many others will as well. What could be a fairly depressing tale was lightened with Miller’s wit and humour and plenty of good lessons and ultimately a happy conclusion. Definitely worth a listen! #Audible1

Quirky and Oddly Inspiring AutoBio
Here I am creeping up on 50, and not a single bite of food has passed my lips without being carefully considered since I was 14. I snapped this book up like a fuzz-free M&M that's been on the floor for less than five seconds.
Kelsey is so very, very open about her life, her childhood. This is mostly a truly honest autobiography about her struggles with food, her struggles to be loved and accepted. It is painful, it is raw, it is warm, it is laugh tho' you just took a sip of water funny. And it's inspiring.
One of the first questions she's asked by her new intuitive eating coach goes along the lines of, "What if you're free from all your food worries and your body's just meant to be that weight?" That really, really made me think, and quite frankly, it made the entire book worth the credit right there. But the way Kelsey lives the answer makes the book worth the time you spend listening because there's a lot of give and take, a lot of back and forth, and the mind is a treacherous place to be.
If you're looking for a step-by-step, How-To book, this isn't it.
If you're looking for a place to start, an example of how someone started to love and accept herself and life as it is, this is a great place to begin the process of untying those knots and tangles we've all become

New best friend
As you pick up this book, you might think I'm not fat so do I really need to read this? Yes you do. Kelsey is an amazing writer and brings to life a story we all share: The Diet struggle. Though she has so much more to say, you should really read the book instead of just reading this review. I will read and reread this book for years to come. Kelsey is just like me and struggles with many of the same issues. But she shows me that nothing is impossible and we are all works in progress. Kelsey if you read this, Thank you for an amazing book and an awesome story. Thanks for telling it and sharing it with us!

Awesome book with one major flaw
This is a great book with one huge honking flaw. The author has a cat whom she refers to as 'The Cat'. What? Is she trying to protect its identity or something? This shows a serious disregard for the unique and stellar life of her feline familiar. I don't think she even has a cat, just a cardboard cutout acting as a literary prop. Otherwise, great book, I laughed and cried, etc. read it, but beware.

Big Truth
Loved it. Found myself totally pulled into the story from start to finish. Listening to this was like hearing my own comments. The truths spoken in these chapters are what everyone needs to hear and embrace.

Terrific Read!
I loved this book. Great for anyone struggling with food, self acceptance, and weight loss. I am recommitting to intuitive eating since I want to get my life back - this book shows that it’s possible, and a much better option than yo-yo dieting.
