Weighing Love reads in three different ways: as an autobiography, and essay on ruthless self-love and a practical handbook to help readers overcome their own personal hurdles. Paula uses some of her own story and letters from her childhood to demonstrate the hell that we create in our own minds, the pain we force ourselves to suffer and our struggle for a non-existent thing we call perfection. Ultimately, Weighing Love was written to help anyone dealing with eating disorders, self-esteem issues, body image issues, negativity in their minds or anyone who is trying to be in touch with their authentic self.
