In this memoir, a bright, chubby girl believes thinness is next to godliness and attends one of the first meetings of Overeaters Anonymous in 1975. We follow her through yo-yo dieting and into a depression which lands her in a psychiatric institute. There she takes her first steps towards a realistic 'self' image.
