Book Reviews of Secrets of a Former Fat Girl: How to Lose Two, Four (or More!) Dress Sizes--And Find Yourself Along the Way

Book Review: A journey to maintenance
Summary: 5 Stars

My favorite part of this book so far is that it says I am overweight because I just plain like to eat, and share the author's weakness for Tex-Mex! It is not because I have been horribly abused in my childhood - other than being bullied for being chubby. It is not because I am big boned - I was a 2 lb preemie. It discussions the delusions we hold and need to discard and the illusions we need to use and keep in our hand. For example, she advocates eating meals on a salad plate with a salad fork or tea spoon or chopsticks to make the meal look like more food and to take slower time eating it. She discusses volumetrics, exercise and what shoes to buy, and recommends helpful websites. Most importantly, she discusses why emotions and the inner critic cause plateaus. I have cerebral palsy and cannot really increase my intensity, just the duration, so dance classes and health clubs and running - as the author recommends - are not for me, personally. However, I do what I can in the time that I have. I am getting ready to start my lunchtime workout now! My manta is: "It matters to me!" Very inspiring. Thank you, Lisa!
