They Call Me Picky That Do Talk of Me

Cynthia Lauri tells a tale of a lifelong battle with weight that impacted her life on every level—socially, economically, health-wise, personally, romantically, sexually, and emotionally. She witnessed child abuse and survived heartbreak, a marriage of convenience, job failure, health crises, career frustrations, rejection (both personally and professionally), isolation and loneliness, and finally, a mental breakdown. She was consumed by her fantasy of the perfect man and felt compelled to be perfect in order to find him. Finally, she simply embraced the Zen art of letting go.
