Dear Body

What I Lost, What I Gained, and What I Learned Along the Way

De: Brittany Williams

Narrado por: Brittany Williams

The inspiring story of how one woman overcame her struggle with obesity by healing childhood trauma and confronting her innermost demons.

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.

Loved it!!

This book is so good! I cried and I laughed and it was just good for my heart and soul. I thought it was going to be mostly about her struggles with food and while she does talk a lot about that it’s so much more. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you read it ❤️

Amazing person

So sweet and true. You are great Brittany thank you for sharing so much with us.

Moving and inspiring

Brittany’s story is one that needed to be told. And the way she personified her body throughout the years of her life left me with so much wisdom. I laughed, I cried (a few times) and overall just loved this book. Bravo!!

This is a must read! (listen)

I've been following Brittany since she sold meal plans on her website. This book though...it brought me to tears. As a fellow loss mom, homeschool mom, and one with an entrepreneurial spirit, Brittany shares her journey with such strength and words of wisdom. I'm honestly so grateful she put her words into a book because my aching heart needed to hear them all!

Heartfelt story!

An amazing journey of life with weight loss but also the good and messy things we all share to some degree. Thank you for an amazing book!

Incredible

Brittany shares with honesty and vulnerability. Because of this, the reader can learn not just about the writer’s struggles and triumphs, but also their own can come to the surface knowing they are not alone.

A wonderful listening experience!

I loved it from start to finish! I cried, I laughed, and I cheered along with you thru it all - a great inspirational story. If you have ever struggled with your weight - or life! - you need to read this book. Especially enjoyable because the author read it herself.

Raw, real, beautiful human story

I have been a long time follower of Brittany on Instagram and have her cook books as well. This book is as real as it gets. She managed to pull on so many heart strings as I read. I feel that I was having a one one conversation with her. I laughed, cried and stood in awe of her strength. She was so open and honest of how she navigated through the joys, and sorrows of life all while incorporating the toll it took on her body. Thank you Brittany for writing this book. The world can learn a lot from you.

Long time fan!

I never write audible reviews, but Brittany is truly deserving of a 5 star review. I’ve followed her since close to the “beginning”, but it was so inspiring to here her story from start to finish. Don’t skip this book!

Incredible!

Wow!! I laughed and cried. I felt like I was with her just listening to her talk. Such an inspiration.
