Story4.5 out of 5 stars 600
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.

After undergoing gall bladder surgery at age 23, Jennette Fulda decided it was time to lose some weight. Actually, more like half her weight. At the time, Jennette weighed 372 pounds. Jennette was not born fat. But, by fifth grade, her response to a school questionnaire asking What would you change about your appearance? was "I would be thinner.” Sound familiar?

All her life, Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter, her best friend, her confidant, and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her 20th birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake.

Story5 out of 5 stars 150
I’m missing out on my life. What’s wrong with me? If that’s ever crossed your mind, and if you know there’s more to life than what you’ve been living, this audiobook is for you. It sucks to acknowledge that you are what’s keeping you from the life you want. You sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment. You know everything you’re supposed to do, and yet you feel stuck - limited by your past, overwhelmed by your future - in a purgatory of your own behavior.

Have you ever "felt fat"? Do you beat yourself up when one bite of cookie dough turns into eating the whole batch? Have you dieted yourself into a larger dress size? Are you frustrated because hours of exercise have produced zero results? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Studies show that 75% of women suffer from some type of eating disorder. Whether it's bingeing, bulimia, or another addiction, the good news is there is hope.

Stranger Here is the brutally honest, surprisingly hilarious story of one woman's journey from one extreme of the weight spectrum to the other, and of the unexpected emotional chaos it created. Insightful and unsparing in her self-examination, Larsen depicts the exhilarating highs and devastating lows she experienced as a result of her weight loss, the incredible joy of finally beginning to look like the image of herself she's always carried inside her head, and the crushing pain and confusion of feeling like a stranger in her own body after losing the weight that has always defined her.

We've all been there. We know that sneaking, small voice in our heads all too well - you're too loud. Too quiet. Too young. Too old. Too unimportant. Too ugly. Too silly. Too serious. You're not as successful as she is - look at her perfect family, look at her high-powered job, look at her great hair and size four skinny jeans. Why can't you be more like her - be more in general? Why do you expect so much from everyone? Why can't you take up less space? Ask for less? Be less? The lies track well-worn paths in our minds and our hearts, wearing us down and making us question our role in God's kingdom.

Tell it like it is

Publisher's Summary
Sharee Samuels was 17 and 256 pounds when she hit her rock bottom. But with incredible determination and an unflaggingly positive attitude, she went on to lose more than 100 pounds over the course of five years. When she began documenting her journey on Tumblr, she never expected to become such a powerful voice for health, fitness, and self-love. But her blog, called Funeral for My Fat, soon morphed into an inspirational guide for hundreds of thousands of individuals looking for support and advice on their own fitness journeys.
Here Sharee tells her story. Integral to her success has been her burgeoning passion for teaching group fitness classes, including Zumba, as well as her commitment to eating vegan. However, she firmly believes that it is important for everyone to follow their own path and find what works for them, while treating themselves and their bodies with care and respect.
If you have a journey ahead of you, Sharee has a story worth hearing.

Life Changer
I love her positivity, it what is getting me through on starting my own weight loss journey. I definitely encourage anyone who has had an issue with food or their weight- to read/listen to this book. I was sad to hear it end but I will be listening to it again when the going gets rough... I know it's the perfect antidote to getting back on track.

Almost There...
I actually started reading this book and about half way through decided to try Audible to listen on my daily walks, so I continued on this platform. I loved how the story started out - it was focused on Sharee's journey and how she got to where she was and everything she went through. From chapters 6 and on, however, strayed from her story and got a little repetitive. The last half of the book was more "tips & tricks" for weight loss rather than about Sharee's story, which might be very helpful for people starting their own journey but it wasn't new information for me. I also had a hard time listening to the narrator's voice (sorry Melissa!). I just didn't enjoy how she read certain phrases, etc. Didn't seem natural to me. Overall, still a pretty inspirational story.

The story, I'm not sure but the narratio is TRAGIC
I'm super disappointed I even wasted a free credit listening to this audiobook.
I got 53 seconds in and stopped listening because of the robotic, choppy, emotionless narration. So I guess this will be something I read on my own time.
