The inspiring journey of a woman who turned personal tragedy into triumph over obesity On a beautiful April morning in 2001, Pamela Hansen decided to do something she hadn’t done for a very long time.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
To me this book was not so much about losing weight, grieving and running as about setting goals and doing your best to reach them even when it's hard. It's also about making time for yourself, prioritizing, having a postive self image, and just doing the best that you can. I enjoyed the book all except after she lost 50 pounds, it stopped telling the story and started talking for a long time about random stories of how she felt when people looked at her, etc. It seemed out of place and too long but that may be because I don't have those kind of feelings. I'm sure a lot of other people would relate to the stories. Over all it's very good and inspiring and I would recommend it to any woman even if they weren't struggling with weight.

I loved the book. I too am in a battle with weight loss and have successfully lost over 100 pounds. Pam does an amazing job at putting words to the emotions I know that I have felt and she has felt as well!
Excellent!!!

This book had me from the beginning. I received this book as a gift because I like to run. Pam has an unbelievable story, very touching. She brings you in and you are part of her world. You strugle with her, triumph with her, and feel what she is feeling. It is a great, inspirational story for anyone (not just those who are overweight).
Very Inspirational!
