finished health at every size...i started wild by cheryl strayed yesterday, after a strong recommendation from a friend and reading some really positive reviews. i'm still in the first quarter of the book and finding it hard to digest...she talks a lot about how she lost her mom, which i can relate to because i lost both of my parents when i was just a bit younger. so the grief passages i can relate to a lot. but a lot of the writing comes off as...excessively self-centered and martyr-ish, even for a memoir. i'm going to give it a chance, though...maybe i'm being overly harsh.
