ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I
want to give special thanks to my agent, Alex Glass, who saw it all way before I could have even imagined it and to my invaluable attorney, John Fagerholm, who has always made sure I crossed my eyes and dotted my t’s. I want to thank my friend and exceptionally talented producer Mason Novick, who told me I should write a book and then introduced me to the right people to make it happen.

A heartfelt thank-you to my incredibly understanding and creative editors, Talia Krohn and Heather Jackson (aka the closer), for being open to working outside the box because that is where I was comfortable.

I am so honored that two outstanding women, Tina Constable and Maya Mavjee, believed in my vision of creating a healthy way to lose weight while falling in love with food and bringing families and friends together around the dinner table again—forever I thank you. My entire team at Crown, especially Leigh Ann Ambrosi, Meredith McGinnis, and Tammy Blake, have been so patient and kind all the while driving the cause in just the right direction. I am in awe and so thankful for all you do.

I am so grateful to Eve Adamson, for it is amazing to work with a writer who gets you, your voice, and your twisted sense of humor. And to my coach Melanie, what a wild ride right? I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you to Larry Vincent and Michellene DeBonis at UTA for their amazing design and branding and most of all for really getting me.

And to my beloved Kim and Kym, I wouldn’t be without either of you.
Thank you for jumping right in, being so generous, and egging me on all the way. To my dear friends Tim and Wendy, for feeding me and caring for me so I had the energy to feed and care for others, and to Chris and Karen for expanding my horizon beyond my wildest imagination and affirming that dyslexia is a reason to be successful and not that we find success despite it.

I want to thank all of my clients throughout the years. I have gained so much because you have allowed me into your lives and have shared with me your personal journeys. You know you hold a very special place in my heart.

I owe a special thanks to Colorado State University, specifically Dr. Nancy Irlbeck and Temple Grandin, for when I graduated I was so fired up to get out there and help people and make a difference in this world. And to Dr. Michael Towbin, Dr. Jackie Fields, and Dr. Orrie Clemens, thank you for mentoring me and integrating for the good of the patient.

To my sisters, Heather and Holli, you are my best friends and my rock in a storm or on a sunny day. Thank you for the late nights, for always being there for me, and for throwing me out there when I didn’t think I could do it. Thank you for giving me Dolan and Harley for they are the real prize. To my dad, Nestor, I know I am your favorite and now it has been published as such and I love and thank you for being so good to me and the kids. My mom, Dr. Jeanne Wilson, you inspire every day to be a better mother, friend, and human being and I love you with all my heart.

I want to thank my amazing husband, Von, who swept in and unlocked all that was holding me back and keeping me down. With you I am home and you have blessed me with a rich and full family of five beautiful children. Thank you for reading and rereading and rereading chapter after chapter and telling me time and time again how smart and funny I was. Thank you for relocating all of Christmas in the middle of the night and remembering my passport and to turn out the horses and that I need my blanket when I fly and that sometimes sorbet and flowers do make everything better. And thank you for all the times you never asked me why. I love you. So many individuals and organizations are responsible for the actualization of this book and to you all I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
