I cracked the code!

I found this book refreshingly insightful and free from the usual bizarre dieting advice. I am an avid fitness/weightloss reader and a lifetime member of Weight Watchers; in addition, I have been going to Jazzercise for 4 years, so this story spoke to me on several levels. Name an exercise program, I've done it. Even with my impressive fitness resume, my weight has gradually crept up in the last few years and I felt powerless to stop it. Delaney's book brought on the first epiphany I've had about my weight in years! The author asks you to question what "fat girl rules" you are living by (probably unconciously). Through this journaling exercise I discovered that I had worped a key Weight Watcher's teaching that possibly explains all of my weight gain troubles. Weight Watcher's teaches not to give up favorite foods but instead to plan them into a day's calories (points). I learned to successfully eat special food items on special occassions by eating light the rest of the day or in the days prior or after and increasing my exercise a little. Prioritizing my foods was key to achieving my goal weight. However, after reading Secrets of a Former Fat Girl, I realize that I have deemed so many items and situations as "special" that I likely eat a "special" treat on a daily basis without planning around it.
Someone at the office makes something homemade and chocolate, that's special! Donuts from a certain old-fashioned bakery, special! Scone on Saturday morning,special!
Thank you Lisa Delaney for helping me crack the code of the worped Weight Watcher!

Funny, I don't remember writing this...

I swear this book came straight out of my own head! From the very beginning, it was like reading about my own struggle with weight. The advice was so straight-forward...sure it sounded like everything I'd heard from friends. I was actually able to make a concious decision and effort to lose weight after reading this book and lost 20 pounds in 2 months. It was all in the little things, and I found that keeping my quest a secret really did help. I immediately sent this a friend who also struggles with her weight. She's lost 30 pounds now. I love it!

Inspirational, sensitive, and funny

I literally could not put this book down. It manages to be sensitive and hilarious at the same time.

This book is also packed with A LOT of practical information. If you've struggled with weight your entire life, you really do need to buy this book.

Wow

This book is the best book I have ever bought. I have struggled with body image and losing weight since I was a little girl. There is nothing like seeing your own "hidden" thoughts, feelings and internal struggles written. The simple tools she gives are manageable and effective. Thank you for the awesome book, and for having the courage to write it the way that you did!

Can TOTALLY Relate

I absolutely love this book! I couldn't put it down. I could relate to her on so many levels....from things she did, experiences growing up, and how it made her feel. In my own up and down battle to lose weight, I found it helpful because she doesn't focus on food and what you shouldn't eat or do. A lot of weight loss (and gain) stems from us as people and our thought process. I need to look at me and my life in a different light and truly believe that I am not a Fat Girl. I am more than that.
