Book Summary
We’re all hungry—hungry to look good, feel worthy, be loved, and fit in. Our hungers are deep and insatiable. We try to feel full by using food, alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships, careers, or money. No matter what we look like or where we came from, we all share the same intense need to fill up on life, but not many of us know how.
A Very Hungry Girl chronicles the journey of Jessica Weiner, who spent most of her life hungering to be someone else. She was so desperate to be accepted and valued that she spiraled into an eating disorder, experiencing the attendant lack of self-esteem that ruled—and almost ruined—her life.
This compelling book relates Jessica’s very personal story, and also captures her unique persona as she travels the country as a performer and motivational speaker listening to thousands of other people’s stories. It also presents valuable and concrete tools that you can use to fill up on life... and enjoy the full, meaningful existence you deserve!
