Speaking to anyone who has ever stepped on to the scales and worried about their weight, Jenni Murray explores the relationship between psychology, science and size.
Jenni Murray is a journalist and broadcaster who presented BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour from 1987 to 2020. She is the author of several books and writes a weekly column in the Daily Mail. She lives in north London and the New Forest.
A powerful, poignant tale of dieting and despair.
*The Times*
I'd put this book into every school as a warning to girls - and
boys - not to waste their lives obsessing over food.
*Mail on Sunday*
A perceptive look at health and happiness.
*Sunday Express*
Jenni has a light touch when writing about hers and others
struggles with eating and bodies. She does it too with the science,
so that agony and confusion is mixed with humour and hope. A
beautiful book.
*Susie Orbach*
Laudably frank.
*The Big Issue*
A painfully honest account of [Jenni's] lifelong battle to lose
weight and an investigation into the physical and psychological
causes of obesity.
*Daily Mail*
