Some of the comments were so off the wall funny that I was in tears, and books justdon't usually affect me that way. I loved her sardonic, self-deprecating sense of humor and found that I could identify with her in many ways.It's probably not for everyone, but I will certainly recommend it highly tomy Book club members. Hmmm....she likes visiting book clubs.....and we'd feed her well...hm... (  ) Suuze | Aug 12, 2009 |  Love, love, LOVE Jen Lancaster. She manages to make everything funny, including losing weight. This is the third, and most recent, book I've read by Jen and like her others, it was fantastic! Perhaps not a subject I need to read up on but I enjoyed going through her journey with her. Some bits were a bit serious but Jen is a great writer, so even the serious bits were a good read. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next. (  ) janeycanuck | Aug 2, 2009 | I'm not yet half way through and this book is hilarious. The weight loss struggle really resonates with me.Not to mention how absolutely flippin' funny she is. (  ) ritaliccious | Jul 29, 2009 | Laugh out loud funny. Inspiring. ( ) risadabomb | Jun 19, 2009 | Wonderful as usual ( ) Harrod | May 20, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451223896, Paperback)A NOTE FROM JEN LANCASTER: "To whom the fat rolls…I'm tired of books where a self-loathing heroine is teased to the point where she starves herself skinny in hopes of a fabulous new life. And I hate the message that women can't possibly be happy until we all fit into our skinny jeans. I don't find these stories uplifting; they make me want to hug these women and take them out for fizzy champagne drinks and cheesecake and explain to them that until they figure out their insides, their outsides don't matter. Unfortunately, being overweight isn't simply a societal issue that can be fixed with a dose healthy of positive self-esteem. It’s a health matter, and here on the eve of my fortieth year, I've learned I have to make changes so I don't, you know, die. Because what good if finally being able to afford a pedicure if I lose a foot to adult onset diabetes?" (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:13 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
