Growing up an indoors-loving child in Northern California, she learned from an early age that weight was the one part of her life she could neither change nor even really understand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fast forward nearly four decades. Marisa, also a contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, comes across an obituary for Jean Nidetch, the Queens, New York housewife who founded Weight Watchers in 1963. Weaving Jean's incredible story as weight loss maven and pathbreaking entrepreneur with Marisa's own journey through Weight Watchers, she chronicles the deep parallels, and enduring frustrations, in each woman's decades-long efforts to lose weight and keep it off. The result is funny, unexpected, and unforgettable: a testament to how transformation goes far beyond a number on the scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marisa Meltzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316413984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316413985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Marisa Meltzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986526798079,"sku":"9780316413985","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_971d6a69-e5e0-4cf1-9c09-5b7d54ad368c.jpg?v=1683283868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-big-marisa-meltzer-9780316413985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
