About this listen
A heartbreakingly honest, endearing memoir of incredible weight loss by a young food blogger who battles body image issues and overcomes food addiction to find self-acceptance.
All her life, Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter, her best friend, her confidant, and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her 20th birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake.
It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome, from morbidly obese to half her size, from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite (but modest) bowls of handmade pasta. This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It is about someone who made changes when her situation seemed too far gone and how she discovered balance in an off-kilter world. More than anything, though, it is the story of her finding beauty in acceptance and learning to love all parts of herself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So moving, so refreshingly honest
We often only see the "after" photo and think thin is the ultimate happy ending. The author is so honestly raw and tells her story so endearingly. Very good read.

The total honesty and how she bared her whole feelings and insecurities to the reader
I was disappointed that she left her boyfriend at the end of the it was like she kept him until she no longer needed him.

It resonated!
As soon as I heard about this book I knew it was for me. I cried, laughed, cried a bunch more.. it was therapy! It’s given me a lot to think about. If you’ve ever struggled with self worth and/or food, this book is for you!

Details
It dragged on throughout the book.. the reader can understand the points being made but the author seemed to over explain, describe in long detail matters that could be simpler. I found my attention would wander after the first half of the book..

Corny
Oof. This girl is a tad dramatic and overindulgent in so many areas, besides eating and food. She kind of treats her really nice boyfriend like crap, even though he clearly bends over backwards to make her happy. He calls her kiddo, so the daddy issues are alarming… I don’t think 23 year olds necessarily need to be writing memoirs, her immaturity is grating at times. Oh goodness, and the read is quite long-winded, saccharine, and precious.

Tried to love it
Seemed like it was all about food. It didn't teach me anything, it was just one persons story and got annoying after awhile. Really wanted to like it but didn't.

I wanted to love it
I think I had the incorrect impression about the book.
I thought it was about how the fat girl lost weight and stayed true to who she was all along.
I just kept waiting to get pulled in to the story.
But truly, I usually was hungry after listening to the book, not something I wanted to happen.
Oh well, I won’t love them all!
