“Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” ~ Lucille Ball I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I say most because I didn’t officially go on my first diet until I was 12. I am 49 years old so for 37 years I have battled the scale. If it was down, I felt good about myself.

When I heard about Dawn Newland’s first book in late 2020, I couldn’t wait to read it. By the time I got my hands on it, a second book was available.
