Unbearable Lightness

My latest recreational read was Unbearable Lightness by: Portia De Rossi

I have always been a fan of Portia de Rossi and can remember watching her on Ally McBeal in the skinny actress craze. I always thought she is so beautiful with her unique features and gorgeous blonde hair. So when she came out with her book, I couldn't wait to read it.

The book is about her struggle with eating disorders. She tells the story of how a scale came to rule her life and the devastating ride it took her on.
I found myself identifying with alot of what she went through. While i've never struggled with an eating disorder, I have(like most of us) wished that parts of my body looked different at different stages in my life.

For me it was comforting and reassuring to hear that someone that I view as soooo beautiful struggles with her self image to.

She also takes the reader on her journey to find and accept her true self and in turn help her loved ones accept her to. Being true to yourself once you know who you are can be a struggle especially if the ones around you disagree with you.

I really enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.

P.S. I own a copy, if you would like to borrow, let me know.
