In this story Jeanine totally 'lost herself' and became really dysfunctional for a very long time after the sudden death of her fiance. Then on a plane, where she was humiliated over her weight, she had a 'light bulb' sort of moment. And, then she immediately  met the new guy who redirected - or should I say "directed" - her life, showing her how to take the weight off, and eventually even getting her story into a magazine spread. And, then becoming engaged, and the story ending with the atmosphere of, "and they lived happily ever after...".The weight loss and other positive changes in her life were wonderful, but the thing is, her life went totally to pot when she lost one man, and her life totally blossomed when she met this other man. Is she nothing without a man? She really needs to find herself, and not put her whole 'self' into one man or another. Someday she is going to find that if she doesn't fill herself up, then when life gets hard again at some point, life is indeed going to be a sad experience, and she will probably put all the weight back on.Sure, she can have a man in her life, but if her life is made or broken by whether or not she has a man, then she is an 'empty soul' using 'living for a man' to fill her emptiness. What happens if they later break up, divorce or he dies? Does she return to not functioning again for several years, till she meets the next man?
