Beschreibung

<b>Jackie Goldschneider, star of <i>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</i>, bravely chronicles her decades-long battle with anorexia and public journey to recovery in this “courageously candid” (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) memoir.</b><br><br>All Jackie Goldschneider ever wanted was to be thin. As a child, she’d stand in front of the mirror, sucking in her stomach and arching her back to feel her ribs, praying to see a model-like figure looking back. As an obese teen, lonely and tormented by her weight, her doctor encouraged her to start dieting, ultimately leading to a prolonged battle with anorexia that nearly took her life.<br> <br>After decades of hiding her eating disorder from friends, family, and the world, Jackie is ready to expose the realities of her devastating struggle, including the harrowing day-to-day tactics she employed to count calories and restrict meals, her struggles with fertility and pregnancy, the effects of her eating disorder on her relationships with her husband and children, and ultimately how, in a twist of fate, becoming a reality TV star saved her life.<br> <br><i>The Weight of Beautiful</i> is Jackie’s personal story, but within it are also the stories of millions like her, striving to lead healthy, happy lives despite their eating disorders. In the vein of <i>Unbearable Lightness</i>, <i>Hiding from Reality</i>, and <i>What Remains</i>, <i>The Weight of Beautiful</i> is a moving testament of strength, honesty, and recovery.
