Summary:
"She doesn't drink or do drugs, but like millions of other Americans, Lisa Kotin has a substance abuse problem. A problem that she can indulge by walking into any corner store in the world--or simply walking to her pantry. Lisa Kotin is addicted to sugar. My Confection is a darkly funny and candid memoir of where sugar took this teenage mime when she left her S.F. Bay Area home in pursuit of artistic greatness. From the fascistic macrobiotic house where she is kicked out for smuggling Snickers, to early days of Overeaters Anonymous meetings where she is bewildered by the idea of submitting to a Higher Power, to a stylish shrink who suggests she figure out how many minutes of tennis would equal the calories in one jelly donut, to men who she unwraps and consumes like cheap chocolate bars, Kotin careens from romantic disasters to caloric catastrophes. Original and surprisingly affecting, this is a portrait of a sugar addict that has nothing to do with losing weight or getting fit, but coming out of the (sugar) closet, finding allies who understand, and figuring out how to live healthfully, in spite of her compulsion"--Provided by publisher.
