But we won't be talking about diet but about happiness.

Some beautiful paragraphs from her book:

“Each of us has our own 20 pounds” – the one thing we truly and sincerely believe stands between us and pure happiness.

"Over the years, I tried everything: diets, pills, injections, liposuction, and even a mini tummy tuck. But no matter what I did, I never felt satisfied. I tried every diet imaginable: Scarsdale, Atkins, no bread, only bread, cabbage soup, high protein, ketonic, the 4-hour, the 17-day, paleo, muscle builder, hypnosis, and sugar withdrawal. Enough already, I’m getting tired (of writing, not dieting). “
