Caroline Dooner is the creator of The Fuck It Diet, which helps chronic, lifelong dieters finally have an easy relationship with food. She is a writer, storyteller, performer and yoga teacher (who mostly just teaches resting). Entertaining and brutally honest, Dooner has been where her readers and clients are now. She suffered through over a decade of obsessive, miserable dieting and bingeing. She tried every fad diet, every version of intuitive eating, but remained scared of food, her appetite, and her weight. It was her own deep misery and dysfunction that made her investigate, research, and create another way.

That's why we're lucky to have someone like her, reminding us all that it is possible to break the diet cycle - and while it may be hard, it's not necessarily complicated. Sometimes it really is as simple as saying, 'f*ck it.' Kelsey Miller, author of Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life
