About this listen

She was somewhere near 500 lbs. The exact number she'll never know, because the scale was only able to measure weight up to 450 lbs. But, contrary to popular belief, food wasn't the issue. It was anger, guilt, embarrassment, shame, grief, resentment, and fear. Athena would have to face those feelings to understand her path and cultivate a relationship with the unlikeliest of entities: God.

Amazing, inspirational, motivational.

Don't be put off this book by the mention of God if you are not religious or don't believe. I nearly didn't buy it for these reasons. I chose it because I've done CrossFit for years, and I was interested in Athena's weight loss/fitness journey. Atgena narates this book herself which makes it even more impactful and I just couldn't stop listening. I'm a child protection social worker and I've heard some stuff over the years, but listening to her childhood story, from a child's perspective was harrowing. What a remarkable and resilient woman you are Athena.
