My Last Summer as a Fat Girl

By Dr. Ellie Katz

I have done it again. I have murdered myself in cold blood. I have turned into a raging bull. Nothing is safe in my path. "[Dr. Katz] is inspiring because she has figured out something we all want to know. We all have skeletons in our closets we need to face. I certainly have my own." - Kelly's Thoughts on Things A holistic psychologist, Dr. Ellie Katz had decades of experience working with people with serious addictions -- the kind that broke up families and ruined lives. None of them would have guessed that she had spent all those years struggling with the ups and downs of her own serious challenge: compulsive overeating and a poor body image. Finally, after a particularly triggering event, Dr. Katz decided to undertake an experiment. By using her professional abilities to look inward and follow her own conduct, she hoped to beat, once and for all, the inner saboteur who impeded true progress and recovery. The result is this book, a combination diary and memoir that slips between past traumas and present difficulties with disarming candor. Dr. Katz takes the reader on a highly personal journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, one that is narrated not only with clarity and expertise, but also without sugarcoating the difficult thoughts and emotions involved in such a process. There's no getting away from it; when you are your own worst enemy, you have a dangerous and formidable foe. My Last Summer as a Fat Girl is an authentic, inspiring tale of change from someone who knows the value of finally being able to truly live well.
