Food was her everything

At a very early age Andie realized that food could be a panacea for just about anything. Feeling bored? Gobble some cupcakes. Need a reward? Stop by McDonald’s. Parents fighting? Shove in some caramels. Father suicidal? Eat five bowls of cereal. Learn your Dad died homeless and alone? Just eat and eat and eat…

Food distracted, it numbed, it comforted - it also made her fat. At 20 years old and 268 pounds, Andie found the strength and motivation to lose 135 pounds only to discover that it wasn’t the pounds that imprisoned her, it was her dysfunctional relationship to food. It Was Me All Along is an honest, heartfelt and often humorous memoir of one woman’s struggle with food addiction.
