Description: Manhattan self-help author Julia Goodman thinks she's got her addictive personality under control. Then her psychoanalyst moves away, her husband takes off to L.A. and her best friend moves to Ohio. Feeling lonely and left out, Julia fills in the void with food. This is a huge problem--especially since she's about to go on national television to plug her hot new self-help book about how she conquered her sugar addiction. Julia desperately sees eight shrinks in eight days, speed-dating for Dr. Replacement to help shrink back her body and anxiety in time for her close-up.
