Showing results for "Alice" in Eating Disorders

In 2017 Alice had over half a million followers on Instagram, she had celebrity PT clients, appeared on the cover of Women’s Health magazine, and even achieved her third Sunday Times bestseller. She was celebrated as the embodiment of health, but that was the furthest thing from the truth. Now, having recovered from her disordered approach to food and fitness, Alice tells the intimate story of what led to her darkest moments of restriction, the ultimatum that forced her to change, and how she overcame those demons using her four pillars of fitness.

Alice Wiethoff Blegen's memoir, My Fat Life, tells the inspiring story of a young girl growing up overweight in the 1950s and 1960s, blending the music, fashion, and social attitudes of that time period into her story. She relates her account of being different, feeling left out, and ultimately stepping up to the challenge of changing her situation.
