Book Review: Sanity Saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like most of the women in the U.S. have struggled with weight and my self-image for years (26 to be exact) even though I consider myself average by most standards (size 12), I still can't seem to lose those 20 pounds that I believe will make my life great. Still I have not allowed this bad self-image that I have always kept in the back of my mind stop me from graduating college and law school. But unfortunatly this self hate is always lurking in the back of my mind waiting for me to be happy to rear its ugly head and knock me back down.
However, after reading this book I have come to realize that I don't need to lose those 20 pounds to be happy, I can be happy and fabulous right now! I'm finally after years to accept that I will never be a size 6 and thats fine with me, because I can be just as hot as a size 12 or what ever size my perfect body takes me too. I recomend this book to all, young, old, Fat,and skinny, because we all need a little boost every now and then and this book has it all. We all need to promote as Wendy does body acceptence and finally make peace with our thighs, and then move on to something more productive and less time consuming then how many calories we ate today.
And I suggest you pass it on to your friends when your done, because I'm sure they will find it as great as you do!
Summary of The Fat Girl's Guide to Life
Vibrant, vivacious, and gorgeous, Wendy Shanker is a fat girl who has simply had enough-enough of family, friends, co-workers, women's magazines, even strangers on the street all trying (and failing) to make her thin. Written in Wendy's wonderfully funny and candid voice, The Fat Girl's Guide to Life provides thought-provoking insights, statistics, and body-image resources intended to restore a realistic standard of beauty and self-acceptance to the 68 percent of American women who wear a size 12 or larger. The Fat Girl's Guide to Life invites you to step off the scale and weigh the issues for yourself.
