This was Tracey. For the author, the thoughts sounded like she was "too fat" to be loved, "too stupid" to amount to anything and "too worthless" to be valued. Her childhood was marred by abuse and neglect, so having grown up having these beliefs beaten into me her was hard not to think that way. However after the birth of her children she embarked on a journey of healing and recovery. She learned how to take control of her mindset, how to love her body and appreciate what it's truly capable of. Running Thoughts explains the journey going from severely depressed, anxious, morbidly obese, suicidal and in volatile relationships to becoming a confident, capable, strong woman with a loving family and home.

This book will teach, motivate, uplift and inspire you to transform your life too.
