Portia de Rossi
In this searing, unflinchingly honest memoir, actress Portia de Rossi shares the truth of her long battle to overcome anorexia and bulimia while living in the public eye, and details the new happiness and health she has found in recent years—including her coming out and her marriage to Ellen DeGeneres.
In this groundbreaking memoir, Portia de Rossi reveals the pain and illness that haunted her for decades, from the time she was a twelve-year-old girl working as a model in Australia, through her early rise to fame as a cast member of the hit television show Ally McBeal. All the while terrified that the truth of her sexuality would be exposed in the tabloids, Portia alternately starved herself and binged, putting her life in danger and concealing from herself and everyone around her the seriousness of her illness.
She describes the elaborate rituals around food that came to dominate hours of every day and explores the pivotal moments of her childhood that set her on the road to illness. She reveals the heartache and fear that accompany a life lived in the closet, a sense of isolation that was only magnified by her unrelenting desire to be ever thinner, ever more in control of her body and the number of calories she consumed and spent.
From her lowest point, Portia began the painful climb back to a life of health and honesty, falling in love and marrying Ellen DeGeneres and emerging as an outspoken and articulate advocate for gay rights and women’s health issues. In this remarkable, landmark book, she has given the world a story that inspires hope and nourishes the spirit.

This book is shocking, sad and made me so angry at the world all over.
Everytime I see a girl (mostly they are girls although boy's are not so far behind anymore) I want to give her the book.
Nothing but the truth

I’ve also read it and now listening to it, while she actually reads it, made me cry, smile and remembering that being thin is not everything. Even though I wouldn’t recommend it to people in their early stages of recovery, because it can be quite triggering, I loved, that she went full circle, not only listing her struggles but also her successes.
She drew a real picture of recovery, not only the “pretty” parts, I loved it and I’m so grateful that she decided to publish it.
She will forever be an inspiration for myself and I aspire to meet her someday.
Beautiful reminder of the things that actually matter
