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: misleading and nothing special
Summary: 1 Stars
I should have known when she started out the book with "I'm the girl you're jealous of..." that I would be seriously underwhelmed. Suffice to say *SPOILER* that she starts running around a track and goes from a size 16 to a size 8 in the first half of the book.
Hardly a secret. I can sum up this book for you in a few sentences and save you the cash: "Watch what you eat. Exercise. Believe you can do it."
Now go spend that $15 toward a pair of athletic shoes, and you'll be in business.

Summary of Secrets of a Former Fat Girl: How to Lose Two, Four (or More!) Dress Sizes--And Find Yourself Along the Way
An inspiring account of one woman?'s mission to lose six dress sizes and change her life for goodFor Lisa Delaney, being a ?"fat girl?" wasn?'t just a matter of weight, it was a state of mind. At one hundred eighty-five pounds, she was despondent over diets that never worked and disappointed by her dull job and lack of a love life?-until a late-night epiphany involving a half-gallon of ice cream convinced her that becoming a former fat girl, in body and spirit, was the key to creating a life she truly loved.
Today, seventy pounds lighter, Lisa is a successful writer at a national magazine. She is married to a man she loves. And she wears a size two.
Eye-opening, accessible, and filled with practical advice, this book reveals the seven secrets of Delaney?'s success, and explores how shifting from ?"wannabe Former Fat Girl?" to actual Former Fat Girl is as much about seeing yourself as a confident, desirable woman as it is about achieving an ideal weight.
