Sandra Vaughan grew up believing her self-worth depended on her body size. She spent years struggling to get skinny. As she "sorts through the cold hard facts of trying to measure up to an impossible standard, one constant truth shines through: all fat chicks are crazy, even the skinny ones."
In her book, Monster in the Mirror, she tells with humor her struggles with Trickster– That Psychological Voice of Not-Good Enough– trying to tear her down at every opportunity when she sees "The monster in the mirror she fears most: a Fat Chick!"
Sandra Vaughan is a funny, cheerful woman I've known for many years. It's hard to imagine behind that friendly smile and robust laugh lies a woman who struggled with her self-esteem– a woman "smiling on the outside, but thoroughly lost on the inside." For a peek behind that smile, read part of her memoir– Monster in her Mirror.
