The Me I Knew I Could be: How I Lost 157 Pounds, Gained Self-esteem and a Healthy Life - And How You Can, Too! - Hardcover

In 1994 Crystal Phillips weighed 292 pounds. She was miserable, unhappily married and suicidal. She thought that her life was over and that there was no way to climb out of the hopelessness. But the death of her beloved brother made Crystal realise that life is too precious to waste; our purpose here is to live as fully as we can. So Crystal found within herself the strength to make a change. Through journaling, eating well and being prepared for emotional setbacks she was able to find her self-respect and lose over half her weight. She has written this book not only to help others lose weight, but also to teach them how to form their own fitness support groups and live the best life they can. THE ME I KNEW I COULD BE is both the inspiring personal story of Crystal's weight loss and pratical guide, complete with a diet programme and menus, for anyone who wants to lose weight, get healthy and embrace life.
