For decades, obesity has been treated as a simple failure of discipline:
Eat less. Move more. Try harder.
But for many people, the reality feels far more complicated.
In More Than Willpower, Jennifer Downing shares a deeply personal exploration of hunger, shame, dieting, weight regain, metabolic adaptation, and the emotional exhaustion of fighting a body that often seemed determined to work against her.
Through personal experience, evolving obesity science, and the life-changing emergence of GLP-1 and GIP medications, she examines the complicated relationship between biology, food, body image, addiction, self-control, and human worth.
Honest, compassionate, and deeply relatable, More Than Willpower is not simply a story about weight loss. It is a story about finally finding peace after decades of believing the battle was personal failure.
Because perhaps hunger was never a character flaw after all.
