A blog. A weight-loss story. And intimate details of one woman's emotional yet humorous journey to finding herself. Nearing her thirtieth birthday, yo-yo dieter Rachel Stevenson knew she needed help when she stepped on the scale at nearly 280 pounds. A movie—and a lack of clothes that fit—finally provided both the inspiration and motivation Rachel needed. With the support of her friends, family, and wife Fay, and fearless in her resolve and commitment, Rachel took her experience public by starting a blog for the entire world to read. ​ For eighteen months, Rachel’s followers track her 115-pound weight loss and her very personal stories of love, health scares, frustrations, and day-to-day successes. Along the way, Rachel reveals emotions felt only by someone in her shoes, and speaks candidly about them. She also discovers food in a different light, and develops her talent at transforming fat- and calorie-laden recipes into healthy, delicious meals. Rachel’s personal transformation is stunning—from physical change to emotional growth to finding a new career—and she hopes her story inspires others to reshape their own lives.
