false 284346 3 <B>An inspiring account of one woman's successful mission to lose six dress sizes and change her life for good</B> <P> Any woman who's ever been a &#147;fat girl&#148; knows: the label sticks in your mind, regardless of how much weight you lose. Twenty years ago, at 5'4" and 185 pounds, Lisa Delaney was despondent over diets that never worked and disappointed by her dull job and lack of a love life. Fortunately, a late-night epiphany involving a half-gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream convinced her that becoming a former fat girl&#151;in body and spirit&#151;was the key to creating a life she truly loved. <P> 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 <I>two</I>. <P> Eye-opening yet refreshingly accessible, <I>Secrets of a Former Fat Girl</I> reveals the seven secrets of Delaney's success, exploring how shifting from wannabe former fat girl to actual former fat girl is as much about seeing yourself as a confident, secure, desirable woman as it is about achieving an ideal weight. Featuring concrete advice to help readers drop two, four (or more!) dress sizes and re-imagine their own best lives, this book offers the strategies and support to help them effect real change once and for all. 275865 19 4 2007 Secrets of a Former Fat Girl: How to Lose Two, Four (or More!)

I LOVED this memoir! I could totally relate to most of what the author wrote, despite the fact that she had had her weight problem almost all her life, and I've only had mine for the past 10 years.

HIGHLY recommended!]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 04 10:05:56 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 03 06:46:16 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 07:24:07 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 07:13:00 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jan 16 11:58:24 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 11:58:24 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jul 10 22:52:38 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 22:54:10 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 18:50:01 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 18:54:41 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=284346
