THIS BOOK IS THE TRUE STORY OF A 205 POUND, OBESE WOMAN WHO WAS ABLE TO SYSTEMATICALLY SHED 85 POUNDS AND HAS KEPT IT OFF YEAR AFTER YEAR. DR. SUSAN R. CUSHING has written very honestly about her childhood and diet history for the purpose to offer others choices and solutions they may not know are possible or even exist. She has shared with you her entire weight loss process and how you can achieve her success. She has also given you a very intimate and detailed look into her personal life from her days as a youth to her recent cosmetic surgery and post-operative experiences. She divulges much about her trials and tribulations and all she's undergone to finally reach her weight loss goal and maintenance status. She willingly shares many topics; some considered taboo by other authors, believing the more you know the better success you can achieve. She is truly convinced that every reader can find success if they honestly evaluate themselves and their reservations and resistances and follow what's written in her book as it applies to them. DR. SUSAN R. CUSHING graduated Cum Laude from Boston College and went on to earn her DMD degree from Tufts University Dental School in Boston, Mass. She had her 1st dental practice in Boise, Idaho where she met and ultimately married her husband Curt and then opened her 2nd dental practice in Pocasset, Mass.
