Chrissy Metz is my inspiration, her rawness and authenticity make this book incredible.
This is by far the best non-fiction book I have ever read, the connection I felt to this book is out of this world. She is a woman who shows us by example of how to be exactly who you are.

so much more than a plus size actress
I was so impressed with the therapy and wisdom that this young woman possesses.. She had such a great take on life and how to achieve your best self and overcome our perceived inadequacies. I truly enjoyed reading about her life , challenges and conquests and successes.. a very enjoyable read..plus I adore her character portrayal on the tv series THIS IS US.

Thank you, Chrissy Metz
Beautiful book. This girl speaks my language and reminds me to live so many important lessons that life has given me. This is a very positive book. Chrissy reminds us that we can choose to learn from everything that happens to us. We can learn to be bitter or learn to be wise. Ms. Metz chooses the wise route and tells the reader HOW she arrives at wisdom, which is rare. We are so often told What and sometimes Why...seldom How. The book is written in a fun, conversational style, and I was zipping along reading like I'm listening to a wise and fun friend and then I read it...sigh. She is writing very nice things about co-star Mandy Moore and reports that Mandy is wearing her "old age" make-up. Mandy's character is often portrayed as a woman in her early 60's. I am currently 61 years on this planet. This is definitely not "old age".I had to put the book down for awhile. Yeah my ego was insulted even believing/knowing the author means nothing by it. However. She seems like a self aware person full of heart and as I have mentioned, I seem to speak the same or similar language as she. When I say something that stings someone I like to be made aware. I can't text or email Chrissy so I will just say it here: "Old age" can sound as derogatory and be as limiting a concept in our society as the term "fat girl". I feel good being 61...AND no doubt I am treated differently than when I was Chrissy 's age.It goes by fast Chrissy...we are learning and growing and being and getting better with every trip around the sun. And one day if we are so destined we realize--can it be?? Am I 50, 60, 70 yrs of age? Yeah! It's real cool even though many parts of our culture look at "old" as not as valuable anymore. Worn out = old. I don't think Mandy Moore's character is in the old age bracket. How carelessly did I throw that phrase out when I was 40 or younger? Not sure.Ah well...thank you Chrissy for your book and for my wake-up to a sensitive spot I will have to get past. Loved your book. Loved your stories and lessons and laughs. Love that you had lunch with Oprah. (I'm sure she wasn't bothered by the old age remark so I'm gonna take an example and get over it.) Being a person with 61 yrs on earth is the person I am today. Thanks for sharing with honesty and heart your journey thus far. I highly recommend your book.

Read it if you like "This is us"
I am a huge fan of the series “This is us”. When I stumbled over an ad for Chrissy Metz’ book “This is me” it was clear I have to read it.Chrissy writes about her life: a childhood without the father but with a stepfather who was treating her pretty strangely, her joy of singing, her continuous struggle with her weight, her dream to become an actress and finally her move to Los Angeles where she worked as an agent for actors for many years instead of acting herself. Much of her life sounds like Kate’s story which makes her play that role so authentic.Between the stories about her life Chrissy adds some advice how to accept yourself though you might not be the person people around you want you to be. All those are suggestions only learnt from own experience. You may follow them or not.If you’re a fan of “This is us” as well - read the book! If you are interested in well written biographies - read the book!
