 Inspirational FAST read! April 22, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I've been following Jennette's blog for about a year now and have found her to be witty, inspirational and truthful. She says what I've thought for years. It's so nice to see her attitude change throughout the years and what peace and athleticism she's found. She's also shown how she treasures those traits as well. Her ability to put herself first and still be kind to herself when she has a slip up is so refreshing. All in all it was a great read just at the time I needed the umph to be kinder to me. Even though I don't know her personally, I feel so happy for her and the hard work she has made happen! What a triumph.

I'm a sucker for a good before and after tale. Lucky for me, this memoir is so much more. Fulda chronicles her amazing 186+ weight loss, more than half of her starting weight. But she does more than just show us her weight loss; she describes her relationship with her body and with her daily habits with such wit and humor that I laughed out loud dozens of times. The pace is quick, and the content is interesting (no daily diet plans or lists of gym workouts here).
I also like Fulda's attitude. She doesn't pretend to be a weight loss guru, and she never disrespects herself and her body. Everyone knows how to lose weight...it's her dedication that makes her tale amazing. Also, I enjoy her focus on becoming athletic rather than getting thin (especially refreshing in today's "Get Skinny!" social climate.) She is a very positive person, even when dealing with ugly plus-size clothes, negative blog comments, or the inevitable plateaus.
This is a great, inspirational read, and Fulda is a delightful writer. Reading it made my wait at the DMV actually enjoyable; I only wish the book could have lasted longer!
