Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big, or Why Pi E Is Not the Answer by Jen Lancaster

5.0

Okay well I’m late to the party, by like a lot, but that is okay, this book doesn’t get old. The concepts are still the same. As a lover of food I appreciated the copious amount of poking fun at the weight loss world. Food is not “bad” or “evil”. A slice of cake every now and again isn’t going to kill you. Now eat a whole cake a day and yeah you might have a problem. But the group meeting thing always ends up about being about people being unable to stay in their desk when donuts are brought in and assuming other people hate them or are trying to sabotage them. I laughed as Jen failed with Atkins, I mean in concept who wouldn’t want bacon everyday…until you’ve eaten bacon three times a day for weeks! Then the celebrity endorsed weight lose meals, yup they have perfected cardboard in the freezer section. I loved the personal training stories. Working out can be grueling but then someone pushing you to your limit takes it up a notch, but sometimes you feel so good you can’t help but want to go back I truly commiserated with Jen and appreciated her humor. Losing weight is not the same for everyone and hearing others journeys makes your own feel less horrible.
