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.

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.

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.

Publisher's Summary

If you're ready to shed more than just the weight, listen to one woman's remarkable journey of self-discovery and healing. In Diary of a Fat Girl you gain an intimate view into how one woman overcame her past and began anew. Through Lisa Sargese's heart-wrenching (but often laugh-out-loud funny) memoir, you'll be inspired to discover your inner strength and drive to triumph in your own life challenges.

Diary of a Fat Girl is a must-listen for anybody who has struggled with body image, self-harm, self-hatred, abusive relationships, low self-esteem, binge eating disorder, bulimia, or a lack of self-love. You'll be inspired to see yourself in a whole new way by listening to this amazing book.

She knew what she needed to do...she just couldn't. Lisa felt that she should know better than to hate herself for being fat. As a professor of women's studies she knew she should love herself just as she is was - all 420 pounds of herself.

But the truth was, she couldn't manage to love herself, try as she might.

And even after two lap band weight loss surgeries, she still suffered from binge eating disorder. In Lisa's words, she could eat "two whole pizzas, three Entenmann's cakes, and a two-liter bottle of soda in a three hour binge" all to punish herself for existing.

Something had to change. Lisa's second lap band weight loss surgery had failed over a decade earlier. But she was too poor and too defeated to attempt a third.

But after more than 10 years of suffering daily binges, unbearable feelings, abusive relationships, and failing physical health, she knew she couldn't continue as she had been.

In 2006 she underwent gastric bypass surgery and began the long and difficult journey to health and happiness for the first time in her life.

Triggers

This book was good, at first I was so annoyed at the story but then realized it was triggering emotions towards things I didn't even think about... some parts of the book - felt like it was saying my story... I'm glad I finished the book.. and with the writer the best of luck getting to her goal..

Sound editing is distracting.

Sound quality and editing is very distracting. Small phrases and added sections are loud and in a different tone.

Interesting but recording quality wasnt all there

for anyone who's struggled with a weight problem and currently facing bariatric surgery this is a warts-&-all account of one person's journey.
it puts an interesting perspective, raises some thoughts. however the recording quality was a bit odd in places.
