How I Lost 120 Pounds and Found My Inner Badass (And How You Can Too!)
Marilyn McKenna
Being a politician’s wife is all about appearances, and as the spouse of Washington State’s attorney general, Marilyn McKenna was expected to be by her husband’s side through thick and thin. After decades of being morbidly obese, she chose thin – and started a weight-loss journey that would change her life. From hitting rock bottom to finding a path to recovery, Marilyn honestly describes her public life and her very private pain: her lifetime battle with food, her attempt to be the perfect wife and mother, and the breaking point that forced her to ask herself hard questions. Now, after facing her demons and losing 120 pounds, Marilyn reveals how she transformed her body and her life and shares strategies with readers who want to unleash their own hidden potential and change the trajectory of their health. Eat Like it Matters works alongside any diet or weight-loss program or as a stand-alone story that will inspire and motivate readers to find their best selves (or their “inner badass,” as Marilyn puts it) every day.
About the Author
In 2007, after being morbidly obese for decades, Marilyn McKenna began her journey into weight loss and fitness. Since then, she has lost 120 pounds and transformed herself into an athlete who runs marathons, competes in triathlons, practices yoga, and participates in a wide variety of athletic pursuits. Marilyn received her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington. There she met Rob McKenna, to whom she has been married for more than twenty-eight years. During her husband's career as an elected official on the King County (Seattle) Council and as Washington State's attorney general, Marilyn was a very public political spouse who was hiding a very private pain. Now, she is a passionate advocate for wellness, committed to helping others who want to transform their lives and the lives of their families through healthy eating and physical activity. She and her husband currently reside in Bellevue, Washington. They have raised four children, who of course never eat anything that's bad for them.
