review 1: Despite being able to relate with some of the food issues the author experienced she came across as a rather spoiled individual who I had difficulty relating too. Her mother sacrificed everything for her only wanting her to be happy. She meets a young man who will do anything for her including putting up with her manic behavior. Morbidly obese or obsessively thin, he loves her unconditionally. She loves him for what she can get out of him, not for who he is. Despite being the "fat girl" her life was full of friends, parties, college, traveling abroad, working on major movie sets & even meeting Leonardo DiCaprio among others. Yet through all of this she is never happy. It is a constant pity party. She's upset when she's fat. She's upset when she's thin. She's fat ... morebecause her Dad died. She's fat because she's lonely. She's thin & now she's obsessed with it. Everyone is judging her. She finds happiness blogging about food. The end. She's only twenty something. Her life has hardly begun. These types of books are better written by people who have lived a lot longer & have grown into mature aged adults. "It Was Me All Along" should be titled, "It's All About ME ME ME" Despite my dislike for her as a person, it is for the few times I could sort of relate to some of her struggles that I do not rate the book any lower. If anything reading this book made reminded me very firmly of the type of person I don't want to be.
review 2: A very quick read, with a lot of good hope and insights for not just anyone trying to lose weight, but also anyone trying to make any big change in their life and not knowing where to start. Now that's not to say this is a perfect read; some things I wanted to know more about were skimmed over and other parts seemed to drag. not a lot of consistency, pace-wise, at least to me. I do give this book points for addressing the problems that come after weight loss, the fear of gaining it back, the sudden extra skin, the inability to eat foods reasonably; it was a good reminder that a smaller number on the scale does not mean struggles with weight are over. less
