Publisher's Summary

After 40 years of trying to find happiness at the bottom of a bag of potato chips, author Dana Goldstein finally snapped. A lifetime of diets, denial, and bad relationship choices caused her weight to rise and fall, and challenged her confidence. Once she was in her 40s, Dana realized that "HELL, YES!" people liked who she was, that she no longer had to listen to the hurtful words of others, and that her weight issues were tied to emotions. 

What started as an autobiography vilifying those who had tried to crush her dreams or tell her she deserved less in life, turned into an examination of her relationship with food. Dana has some great stories to tell around her experiences with food: her great-grandmother's hidden candy stash; her Italian adventure with ordering off-menu; her successful weight loss while in a horrible relationship; her inability to stop eating her own fresh-baked cookies. 

Join Dana on her journey through all the bad habits, culinary delights, and triumphs that tell the story of her life so far.

Brilliant read - inspirational story

Dana has a great way of telling her story. I loved how she also narrates, as she is able to capture her emotions through the narration.
The story offers great insight into how everyone struggles in their own ways. Dana captures her personal journey in a way that makes you relate to your own family and the challenges we all face.
