Stable Weight: A Memoir of Hunger, Horses, and Hope by Lisa Whalen

Description Stable Weight by Lisa Whalen
Stable Weight is a story of resilience, empowerment, and the transformative power of the human-animal bond, revealing how even the most sensitive soul can ditch being a good girl for becoming an independent woman. One minute, Lisa Whalen was leaping fences on horseback; the next she was splayed in the sand-mirroring a fall at age sixteen that ended in a psych ward.
Whalen chased perfection, in the form of an eating disorder, to the brink of suicide. Treatment helped, but her turnaround came from meeting ten special horses. They challenged her to love her body, live in the moment, and face her fears.
Praise Stable Weight by Lisa Whalen
“This is a moving, lyrical memoir of heart and determination.”-Gail Folkins, award-winning author of Light in the Trees
“Stable Weight is intimate and touching. Lisa Whalen’s voice is lyrical and honest, poetic and poignant. . .. Women everywhere will relate to the issues Lisa faces, such as body image and low self-esteem. Further, they will be inspired to search for their own path toward healing.”-Marni Freedman, Co-founder and Programming Director for The San Diego Writers Festival; Programming Director for the San Diego Memoir Association (SDMA); author of the award-winning Amazon bestseller Permission to Roar
“. . . a how-to of female self-empowerment. Whalen has a deep understanding of what can paralyze us as women, yet how, with help from the equine fleet of foot, we can soar.”-Leanne Zainer, literature professor and horse trainer
