From the age of ten, Janet Jackson was told by Hollywood that she needed to slim down. Her well-meaning brothers teased her until she began to believe that who she was wasn't good enough. It was an idea that no amount of critical acclaim in television and film or, later, success in music could change. Janet turned to food for comfort and escape. She developed a self-destructive pattern familiar to so many people - fear and uncertainty led to bad feelings about herself and ultimately depression. The depression led to overeating. And her yo-yoing weight was obvious in the bright lights of the entertainment world. It has taken Janet most of her adult life to come to terms with who she is. But she has broken free of the attitudes that brought her down and has embraced realistic goals that help her eat better, exercise better, feel better, and ultimately be better. This book is about meeting those challenges that can face people. Janet shares her journey to loving herself. She addresses the rumors that have swirled around her for most of her life, shines an intimate light on her family, and pulls the reader behind the velvet rope into her career. She also shares lessons she has learned through contact with friends and fans and reveals the fitness secrets she has learned from her trainer. Finally, her nutritionist, David Allen, unveils the recipes and tips that helped Janet get in shape - mind and spirit, heart and soul.
