I Ate Cookies Out the Trash is an inspirational guide written by Tami Pruitt, based on her real-life experiences dealing with body image and eating issues. She shapes her book with her struggles and how to overcome them. Supported with research-based facts and accompanied by her professional advice as a Registered Dietitian (RD), she lets others know they're not alone in struggling with self-love, body image and disordered eating.
But Tami isn't your stereotypical health guru who runs seven miles a day and judges people for the kind of unhealthy food they consume. Instead, she's the friend you never had, the kind that encourages and motivates you to rise above those dilemmas. Tami takes us down memory lane, where life pitted challenges against her and what she did to get through them.
Giving us a glimpse of her struggles, she keeps a firm connection with the equally troubling or adverse lives of her readers. Tami's unique position in having faced diet and weight troubles while being an RD gives her an unparalleled level of empathy for those that might be going through the same.
With her expert advice and motivation to strive to be the best version of herself, Tami imparts the message that no matter how hard it gets, you're never alone. Navigating the ever-changing diet trends is exhausting for an RD, let alone for the general population, and Tami helps you understand that it is okay to not be perfect. There are others out there like you. I Ate Cookies Out the Trash fills one with the hope that things can get better once you manifest what you want and are determined to achieve it at any cost.
