About this listen

A heartbreakingly honest, endearing memoir of incredible weight loss by a young food blogger who battles body image issues and overcomes food addiction to find self-acceptance.

All her life, Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter, her best friend, her confidant, and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her 20th birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake.

It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome, from morbidly obese to half her size, from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite (but modest) bowls of handmade pasta. This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It is about someone who made changes when her situation seemed too far gone and how she discovered balance in an off-kilter world. More than anything, though, it is the story of her finding beauty in acceptance and learning to love all parts of herself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Andie Mitchell draws you in from the first cupcake - you taste the creamy frosting, feel every hunger pang, and your heart aches right along with hers. She beautifully exposes the dark and painful struggles of weight loss, food addiction, and self-hate that so many in this country face. Read this book because it offers wonderful lessons for healthy living, being kind to yourself, and finding balance. Read it because it's heartbreakingly honest and endearingly educational. (Alison Sweeney, host of NBC’s The Biggest Loser)
"Loving yourself is the bravest thing, and I'm so glad Andie found her bravery and was willing to share it. Cheers to chocolate cake in moderation and happiness in abundance!" (Giada De Laurentiis, author of Giada’s Feel Good Food)
"Andie's story, in which she takes us along for her 135-pound weight loss journey and makes peace with food, is remarkable. She chooses to see the positives from her past, and she realizes that who she was when she was bigger molded her into the person she is today. Andie is an inspiration to anyone who struggles with the challenges of dieting and weight loss." (Gina Homolka, author of The Skinnytaste Cookbook)

It should have been read along time ago

Where does It Was Me All Along rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favourites so far, and i don't really like biographies. This was a superb listen very detailed. I felt like I was there with her, at the turning points in her book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Main Character, she does not hold back all the thought processes she had

Have you listened to any of Andie Mitchell’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any other books from this author. However, this has lead me on the band wagon

Any additional comments?

its a long time since i have got lost in a book. Thank you

So good!

A wonderful, honest, and heart wrenching true story!

So descriptive that I suggest you don't read/listen to it hungry!

This book teaches very little…a steady yarn

Unfortunately this book doesn’t really help anyone who has a binging problem or at least not intentionally. The one thing it inadvertently mentions is similar to the Alcoholics Anonymous mantra of ‘One day at a time’ ie today I did not binge.
Save your pennies and look elsewhere
