Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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?"

this book puts a fabulous spin on every woman's quest to lose weight- at times i was laughing out loud because i know first hand how she feels!

I really enjoyed the sarcasm and reality of this book. It was an easy and fun read. The only thing that annoyed me was the regular personal infomercials in the footnotes of the book telling you to go buy her other books or her friends' books. Also the Weight Watchers section also seemed very infomercially (did she really need to explain the entire program to us?). I'm not sure if I am taken enough by her to want to read her other books either. I dont regret reading it, but it was one I could ... Read More

The book is funny, reminiscent of Wendy McClure's I'm Not the New Me. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they were written by the same person under a psuedonym (spell check?). But they're not...I've seen pictures. The ONLY thing that kept me from giving this book the full 5 stars is that the footnotes at the bottom of most pages are really distracting. The other thing that bugs me is that while the book was chock full of humor, there really wasn't a whole lot of insight (except when it came to ... Read More

Okay, so this book isn't an in your face weight loss tale, but I loved it! The humor was biting and irreverent and very funny. I think if a person didn't read through to the end they would miss the eureka moment. As a large woman who often reads weight loss memoirs for inspiration, this one spoke to me.
Rating: -
This is not another one of those whiny memoirs where the woman goes on and on for pages about how much she hates her thighs and why it's all her mother's fault. Most books about being an overweight woman are told by a narrator who is probably about ten pounds overweight at the most and who proceeds to lose those ten pounds through some form of extreme dieting. As someone who has struggled, and is still struggling, with her weight I especially enjoyed the realism of Jen's story.
