From the creator of the immensely popular websites Pound and Candyboots, this is the memoir of Wendy McClure's odyssey-on-line and off-through the Valley of The Shadow of Her Really Big Ass. It's about the universe she created for herself when she couldn't see herself as a kicky Weight Loss Success Story, only she put it all on a website and became sort of an inspiration anyway.
<i>I'm Not The New Me</i> is about coming to terms with a family heritage of fat and drastic surgeries, and about self-esteem issues that are nobody's business but your own. It's wondering what's left of yourself after you lose weight-and just who the hell you are if you gain it back. It's about the absurdities of online identities and fat girl clichés, and the sheer terror of appearing live and in person in your very own life.1266142642005I'm Not the New Metotal:384|5:1|4:5|3:2|2:2|1:0|38413675527840falsefalseMon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007Thu Jan 15 07:22:34 -0800 2009Thu Jan 15 07:25:27 -0800 2009

Ms McClure seems to relate everything in her life to her weight in a way that seems wholly unhealthy. I've honestly known people with serious eating disorders who tho...more...]]>
