Borders says…

Susan Blech knew she had to lose weight when her doctor told her she could have a stroke just by walking across the street. Starting life healthy and normal, Blech didn't gain weight until her early 30s, when she began using food as an emotional crutch. She eventually ballooned to 468 pounds before deciding to spend her life's savings getting back to a normal weight through the Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina. Blech's book, Confessions of a Carb Queen, is a humorous, self-deprecating, and inspirational memoir that details her sex life, eating binges, and eventual motivation to lose weight.
