I'd put this book into every school as a warning to girls - and
boys - not to waste their lives obsessing over food.
*Mail on Sunday*
A perceptive look at health and happiness.
*Sunday Express*
Jenni has a light touch when writing about hers and others
struggles with eating and bodies. She does it too with the science,
so that agony and confusion is mixed with humour and hope. A
beautiful book.
*Susie Orbach*
Laudably frank.
*The Big Issue*
A painfully honest account of [Jenni's] lifelong battle to lose
weight and an investigation into the physical and psychological
causes of obesity.
