One hundred and twenty-two pounds ago, I wrote humorous astrology and Cosmopolitan magazine’s Bedside Astrologer column. Yet, I couldn’t fix my own life, and I spent thousands of dollars and too many years on weight-loss programs and promises that only left me fatter and more miserable than ever. Now, after five books in thirteen languages and twenty countries, I have written the book I wish I’d had when I was trying to lose weight.
