Amy’s genuine and relatable account will bring you to tears and move you to action.
We have to eat to live, but not everyone has a healthy relationship with food and eating. Food: Eat with Ease Every Day by Amy Freinberg-Trufas is one woman’s honest memoir detailing the journey from obesity, isolation and self-loathing to contentment and self-love. Rather than another diet book or a rigid list of good foods and bad foods, Amy takes a more human approach. Without burdening readers with guilt about their own issues with weight, she appeals to our innermost emotions. And by using her own painful experiences, audiences will keenly feel the heartbreak as Amy is regularly called “Fatso”, experience the cold grip of abandonment as she’s dropped off at summer-long fat camps, taste the shock of an alcoholic parent that repeatedly endangers and emotionally burdens an impressionable child, and look on with compassion and understanding as Amy turns to an unhealthy relationship with food as a means to cope with the trauma.
At a crossroads in her life, Amy is given the sage advice, “Make the life you want. Be happy.” A flash of insight as bright as the noonday sun, this simple guidance certainly resonates. Rather than being trapped in an overweight body and continuously saddled with guilt over every bite of food, she decides to take control of her life and work toward the happiness that has been elusive for so long. It is this straightforward message, to be happy by design, that will touch readers in every situation, of every body type and who have tried every diet. Sensible suggestions along with a healthy dose of self-acceptance lead Amy on an emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy path. Practical and heartfelt, Amy’s genuine and relatable account will bring you to tears and move you to action. While body image, weight loss goals and self image are all highly personal, Food: Eat with Ease Every Day might just be the motivation you need to make your way to a more contented life, one where you can be happy about the choices you make.
