Weight Loss Role Models

There really are people who have done it.  They have lost 50 or 150 pounds and have kept it off.  They have radically changed their lives.  Best of all, they know how they did it.
They can tell you:

– The diet they used and why it worked for them.
– The diets they tried that didn’t work for them.
– What changed in them between being unsuccessful and successful.
– What pitfalls to watch out for.
– When you’re talking like an addict and need to have some sense beat into your head.

Having Fun—It’s Okay. Really.


For many of us, being fat is a gigantic cluster of things that are not fun.  We don’t feel good, we don’t have a lot of energy, we don’t feel sexy, we want to hide our fatness from others, we’re not comfortable standing/walking/sitting in small chairs/etc.  Our reasons for being fat are also not fun: addiction, abuse, fear, self-loathing, depression, poverty, etc.  All of this combines in our brains to convince us we’re not really that into fun.
We pretend we prefer the life we’re living.  We pretend we’re just the “stay at home and read a book” type.  We pretend that the sofa and TV is how we like to spend our evenings.  And the big bowl of ice cream or Doritos does take the edge off the pain, so it’s really not that bad.
Or so we try to convince ourselves.

Individual Chapters only through November 10

Hello darlings!  If any of you are doing the "Chapter by Chapter" method of buying Suddenly Skinny, I want to let you know I'm phasing them out.  You have until November 10th to purchase the rest of the book.  After that, I will only be selling it as one download - the full book.

I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much!  Just clearing out the clutter on Amazon - it's too hard to find the book right now.  ;)

Thank you for reading!!!!
