  1. Chapter 1 - B l a s t i n g T h r o u g h t h e C o m f o r t Z o n e
  2. I’m finally in the place I wanted to reach for all those years.
  3. It has been a long, twisting, exhilarating, and sometimes backtracking journey, but it’s all been worth it.
  4. This is the story of my road toward happiness.
  5. I have something to tell you: It doesn’t have to be that way. You can change your life if you want to.
  6. I know what it feels like to want to give up.
  7. I know what it feels like to think you just can’t catch a break, that an ominous cloud is following your every move.
  8. I know what it feels like to raid the kitchen cupboards late at night and to wake up filled with angry regret the next morning.
  9. I know what it feels like to be miserable in your own skin.
  10. I know what it feels like to be depressed and frustrated. I know what it feels like to stay fully clothed on a hot day at the beach.
  11. Once I stopped looking for the elusive one-and-only answer to my problems, my life fi nally began to fall into place.
  12. As my days fi lled up with quality, my stomach stopped feeling empty. Somewhere along the way my body and my mind formed a truce.
  13. The more I lived little snippets of real life, the more I wanted to keep doing it.
  14. I began to take baby steps out of my comfort zone and started to do things I never would have considered before.
  15. And, to my surprise, I liked her.
  16. to listen to myself. It was like getting to know someone I’d seen around but never really let into my life.
  17. In the blur of the nonstop tennis tour, I’d never had enough time or enough quiet to be alone,
  18. and suddenly I knew that the problem wasn’t what I was eating, it was what was eating me.
  19. A fundamental shift in my mind was taking place,
  20. I stopped looking for answers on the outside and started listening to the quiet voice inside of me.
