""Interesting, Insightful, and Motivational
Irina Dura, the author of My 18 Year Weight-Loss Journey, put together a very interesting piece. There were many aspects that were interesting but the most interesting aspect is the extent to which the author shares her life – she shares everything relevant. It can be very difficult to share such a personal journey but she did a good job and it really made me think about things.
While there are aspects to the eBook that are somewhat raw, the information is fantastic and the journey is truly inspiring. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for motivation to lose weight. Indeed, I found the eBook interesting, insightful, helpful, and motivational."" Amazon customer.
""Learning to control food
This is a great book for those who struggle to lose weight. Irina speaks very openly from her heart about all the challenges she has faced and how she has failed to lose weight a number of times until she finally cracked it. This is such a difficult journey for all those who are overweight, and learning to control food instead of letting food control you is a major challenge. What Irina says will resonate with so many others but she also shows the way out. I recommend this book warmly. Elyse Byskov"""
