Want to be a Former Fat Girl?

Time for the latest book review: Secrets of a Former Fat Girl - How to drop two, four (or More!) dress sizes - and find yourself along the way by Lisa Delaney. Now let me tell you what I liked about this book. It wasn't a book full of "healthy" recipes, nutritional breakdown, don't eat this and don't eat that, or an exercise regimen guideline. This book is more geared towards how to THINK in order to lose weight. It highlights the fact that losing weight is not just about a goal number on the scale or a dress size, it's about shedding the attitude, the image that accompanies it to reveal the real you inside. Sounds easy? It turns out not so much...it takes serious mental reprogramming to make this a LIFESTYLE and not a temporary situation.

To best sum it up, let me just write down a review here -

"This is it - the book which can actually help you lose weight by using the most powerful ally you have: your own mind. Unlike most diet and weight-loss experts, Delaney has truly been there, tried that...A brutally honest look at her personal battle and ultimate victory over obesity, and she generously shares all the wisdom she learned along the way."
- Alice Domar, Executive Director,

and Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School

Dudettes and dudes, are you really going to argue with a Harvard professor? Right. The keywords here are MOST POWERFUL ALLY and MIND. Nothing could be truer, your mind controls you and if you get a hold of it, maybe you'll lose all the crap covering up your petite self for good, once and for all. Some parts were dragging on for me a little, but overall an excellent read with very good points and usable advice.

If you got some extra bucks laying around, don't spend it on junk food, again... Get this book or any other to enrich your mind and not your love-handles! Get it at the link below:
