Katie Jay is like a lot of Americans who have struggled with being overweight or obese for most of her life-unhappy about her weight, wishing there was something she could do, feeling desperate to do ANYTHING to shed the pounds that plague her, concerned about what is happening to her health, and feeling powerless to bring about the changes that need to happen in order for the prize of weight loss to come. The best thing about this book is Katie has LIVED what she writes about and all the complexities of dealing with the changes that have happened to her in her life, including one of the biggest decisions she ever made-having weight loss surgery! But while many look to going under the knife as their saving grace, she realized that it was merely the beginning of a journey to better health that continues to this day. What she found through this life-altering experience was that we all must embrace the responsibility for our own weight and health and find support from others going through these same issues to keep us accountable and motivated to keep going. Today, Katie Jay has taken all the lessons she has learned about the weight loss surgery journey to become the director of the National Association for Weight Loss Surgery.Click Here to see more reviews about: Dying to Change: My Really Heavy Life Story, How Weight Loss Surgery Gave Me Hope for Living (Hardcover)
