THE SECRET TO OVERCOMING THE PRESSURES OF PERFECTION…
More than a simple “how to” guide, the book also contains highly personal and never-before shared stories of Amanda’s darkest moments; from her physical and mental struggles with disordered eating to feelings of unworthiness and body image issues, to how a cancelled wedding in her late thirties left her suffering from depression. With every page Amanda’s authenticity shines through as she bares her soul and tells of the hints and tricks she used to battle through the darkness and make her switch to a lighter way of life. And with that lightness also comes laughter because the sense of humour viewers are used to seeing on TV screens bursts out into laugh-out-loud moments for all to enjoy.
…AND FINDING LONG-LASTING HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
The book is crammed with Amanda’s mind and body secrets from how to ditch yo-yo diets and boost self-esteem with simple tips on how to retrain your brain, to the life-changing exercise advice, tasty recipes and relaxation methods that have helped her become both lean and serene.
This is yet another string to the bow of the TV presenter who splits her time between London and LA. As well as a career in broadcasting that has spanned over two decades, including shows such as: The Big Breakfast, Total Wipeout and Dancing with The Stars, Amanda has also found time to become a qualified personal trainer, nutritionist and sportswear brand owner. In short, Amanda possesses a level of authenticity and expertise that most celebrity self-help authors can only dream of.

Amanda Says…
“For over two decades, I was trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and self-criticism because I thought that unless I was “perfect” I wouldn’t be happy or worthy. By the time I reached my 40th birthday, I was mentally and physically exhausted. Something had to change. This book is a distillation of all the simple, yet life-changing techniques I used to help me get off the perfection treadmill once and for all. It took me on a journey of science and psychology, from silencing the crippling and critical voices in my head to understanding how to eat and exercise in a way that gives me power not problems. Today I am happier and healthier than I ever was in my twenties and thirties because I have a lifestyle where food, fitness, family, friends and finding time for me are all in sync. I am so excited to share how I got here with women of all ages, from the ladies of my generation to teens and every girl in between. Make the switch and unburden yourself of the baggage that is stopping you from having the lighter life you deserve.”
