    <![CDATA[<p><strong>From <em>Shape </em>magazine's popular &quot;Weight-Loss Diary&quot; columnist comes a hilarious, sometimes heartwrenching look at the daily struggle of dieting</strong></p>  <p>In this frank and funny book, Courtney Rubin shares what she learned about dieting--and herself--in more than two years of chronicling her battle to keep food from consuming her life. As engaging as her famous column, <em>The Weight-Loss Diaries </em>is part memoir, part how-to, and always entertaining.</p>  <p>An honest and brave account of what it feels like, day in and day out, often year in and year out, to try to lose a significant amount of weight, <em>The Weight-Loss Diaries</em> is:</p> &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;An unashamed tale of binges, fashion fiascos, setbacks, and ultimate success &lt;li&gt;A light-hearted, laugh-out-loud look at the most ridiculous excuses for ending or cheating on a diet  &lt;li&gt;A no-holds-barred account of the author's dark days of flirting with eating disorders and constantly calculating and recalculating calories   &lt;/ul&gt;  <p>With insight, humor, and courage, Rubin explores diet and food issues, as well as her self-sabotaging habits during dieting, in ways that everyone struggling with weight loss will find both instructive and inspiring.</p>]]>
