Publisher's Synopsis
It is easy to be Kylie Boyack's friend. She is compassionate and is a good listener. She chooses her words carefully and looks for the best in others. It is hard to believe she was once sad, lonely, and discouraged. For years, Kylie's weight did all her "talking," keeping her from making new friends, speaking up, and feeling good about herself. Kylie's journey from heavy to healthy is about more than just weight loss. Her transformation from a shy and insecure girl to a confident teenager shows how even a young person can use will power and common sense to change and succeed in many ways. Kylie's story and the methods she uses to lose weight prove that it does not necessarily require expending large amounts of time, effort, or money to achieve personal goals. Rather, it is staying patiently true to oneself day after day that brings results. Kylie did it and you can, too, no matter what challenge you are trying to conquer.
