Good Friends Bring Salad is a true story of a womans journey from obesity to self-fulfilment. The womans life changed dramatically when in her teen years she found herself the target for teenage cruelty. Her peers taunted her because she appeared slightly overweight.
The story is the diary of this teenager ten years later. The name-calling has not been forgotten, and the weight has continued to stack on. She has decided that enough is enough, she is sick of lining up for hours and counting every last gram that goes into her mouth. She decides she will lose the weight her way and on her terms.
During the journey she encounters many temptations and realises that a lot of her bad eating habits have stemmed from her emotions. She digs deeper and finds that she, among many others, has an eating disorder.
The next step, involves the realistic setting of goals and the coming to terms with reality. That is, that, hot chips and chocolate are bad for you!!! You cannot get away with eating poorly, or making excuses for yourself.

"I finished reading her book on the Wednesday. By Thursday night I was participating in a 'Step Attack' class and on Friday night I ate 3 Tim Tams without feeling like a complete failure!
She's Proved that you can have your cake and eat it too!."
