I've been writing for publication since I was a teenager. I wanted to meet the Beatles so I got a 1 press card from a teen magazine. It worked: I got into my first Beatles' press conference at fourteen, my second at fifteen, and when I was seventeen, Paul McCartney bought me a drink. That's when I knew that even though I was just an ordinary girl from Kansas City with a recurrent weight problem and bad skin, I really did live a charmed life.

Her revised and updated classic, The Love-Powered Diet: Eating for Freedom, Health, and Joy was rereleased in 2009 and is climbing the charts once again. Victoria was once 60 pounds overweight, but shes been free from eating for a fix for an astounding 25 years. Her "Love-Powered" approach begins by tapping the wisdom and grace already inside to help make delicious, satisfying food choices that expresses a love of self.

"In order to change self-destructive behaviors, we need to go deeper, to what underlies our behavior. Victoria Moran shows us how."
