witty and true
I don’t buy books, but this one I could read over and over. She is a great author, her thoughts ring true; she is honest and interesting. I am very very glad I found this book.

Not your average weight loss book…
This book is a mix of the realization of what most “fat” girls go through on a daily basis and how it makes them feel with the wit and humor of one persons journey of the…
