For decades, Jackie Goldschneider lived in secret, consumed by a battle with anorexia that nearly took her life.
From childhood, she believed that thin meant worthy. As a lonely, tormented teen, dieting seemed like the answer—until it spiraled into an obsession with control, restriction, and perfection. For years, Jackie hid her disorder from friends, family, and even herself, until an unexpected turn—becoming a reality TV star—forced her to finally face the truth.
In The Weight of Beautiful, Jackie shares her harrowing but hopeful journey through disordered eating, fertility struggles, marriage, motherhood, and ultimately, recovery. Courageous and deeply personal, this memoir speaks to millions battling eating disorders and offers a message of hope, strength, and healing.
