In her revealing book The Me I Knew I Could Be, Crystal Phillips shares her extraordinary journey of how she first began to gain weight as a young woman, to the period in her life where she binged her way to some 292 pounds, to the things she did to get down to a size 6. This book is more than about dieting tips; Crystal gets very transparent when she admits her passion for food and how she had to discover the root of her problems that made her want to binge. Through entries from a journal that she maintained, Crystal discusses her former marriage and how she knew they shouldn't have wed; she discloses the hurt she felt when her brother died from an incurable disease; and she tells the challenges she endured when she wanted to make a lifestyle change; how she learned to love herself for who she was.Inspiring, humorous, shocking and at times sad, The Me I Knew I Could Be will read like a novel with its conversational tone. It will answer inspire you to believe you can achieve anything (not just losing weight). The book is positive, sparkles with hope, and will empower you to find and live your life's purpose.
