Book Description
An inspiring account of one woman's mission to lose six dress sizes and change her life for good For 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.

Book Description
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. With her mandate to change the world - and the humour and energy to do it - Wendy shows how media madness, corporate greed and even the most well-intentioned loved ones can chip away at a woman's confidence. She invites people of all sizes, shapes and dissatisfactions to trade self-loathing for self-tolerance, celebrity worship for reality reverence, and a carb-free life for a guilt-free Krispy Kreme. Wendy explores dieting debacles, full-figured fashions and feminist philosophy while guiding you through exercise clubs, doctors' offices, shopping malls and the bedroom. In the process, she will convince you that you can be fit and fat, even as the weight loss industry conspires to make you think otherwise. The Fat Girl's Guide to Life invites you to step off the scales and weigh the issues for yourself.

Book Description
At 19 years old I found myself weighing in at 230 pounds and just 5'3". I was eating my way to the grave and though I tried everything, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing the weight I thought I deserved to be losing. In this time I consistently was beating myself up because I was miserable at that size. I didn't look like the other girls, and I wasn't happy. On a doctor's visit for a routine physical after my freshman year of college, my life quickly changed and I lost 83 pounds in just one year. Now, though it's difficult to lose that much weight, it's even harder to keep it off for six years. In that time I have ran five full marathons and six half marathons. Previously, I had espoused profusely that I hated to run. If you want to learn about how I turned my life around to get to this point, you've come to the right place. In this brief, honest autobiography I describe how to find the motivation to lose weight, make manageable goals, keep those goals, learn to reward and love yourself and some lessons I learned along the way. I share my conventional wisdom along with some of my more unconventional methods that I swear by that helped me become more confident and make healthier choices.
