My Food Stories
In my book, Leaving Large: The Stories of A Food Addict, you will see how powerful feelings associated with certain foods contribute to food addiction, yo-yo dieting, cravings and binges. When your willpower, self-control, self-discipline and determination fade, then, it’s time to find your Food Story.

Meet the Author
Michelle Petties is a master Food Story finder, author and recovering food addict. Her first book, Leaving Large: The Stories of A Food Addict, features the award-winning story,
The Cake is in the Mail.
After gaining and losing 700 plus pounds over four decades, Michelle finally discovered that the “secret” to finding freedom from fat is in
the “story” behind the events, experiences and memories that formed her beliefs, attitude,
and habits about food, eating and hunger.
By unlocking her own unique Food Stories, Michelle debunked long held misconceptions and misconnections about the mind, body and food.
Armed with these insights, Michelle helps
others find their own food truths. She currently offers private coaching for select clients who
are ready to find, face, rewrite and replace
their own Food Stories.
