Dear Body: What I Lost, What I Gained, and What I Learned Along the Way by Brittany Williams

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

A few years ago my mom gave me Brittany’s first cookbook after I bought myself an instant pot. I didn’t necessarily need/want the cookbook to lose weight, but I needed some quick and healthy gluten free & dairy free recipes. Well, I now have all three of her cookbooks, and they’re just about the only recipes I use for my instant pot. 
I was really excited to dive into Brittany’s newest book, Dear Body, to simply learn more about her as a human. 
I absolutely loved it. It is so beautifully written. Brittany is raw, honest, authentic, and pours every ounce of herself into the pages of this book. Her ability to self-reflect is inspiring. 
I highlighted a lot, but here’s a favorite line of mine: “One of the hardest things about life is that everything changes. Ironically, it’s also one of the most beautiful things about it. We’ll reinvent ourselves a hundred times, chasing euphoria because we know it exists and trying to reconcile who we were with who we are becoming.” 
Thank you for letting us gain a glimpse into your life through your words, Brittany. I was honored to read it
