Ok big girls, who else is reading it ??

I'm still on like page 30 or something and it's totally depressing a little. I don't know if I should keep reading it, I'm trying to lose weight myself, I don't know if I want to be reading about Jen Lancasters mood swings that I hope would be amusing and comparable. But it's totally killing my motivation. I feel like skipping it and reading Skinny Bitch.

Well... I'm not reading it. (and actually hadn't heard of it before so I have nothing to contribute on that head)

But, if you're not enjoying it, it's killing your motivation and depressing you, and not amusing you like you thought it would... why bother to keep reading?  I say skip it, move on to something you will enjoy that might keep you more motivated, or at the very least might be more fun to read :)

I read it and found it to be comparable to my own on the wagon off the wagon dieting issues.  She touches on the many different diets that I have tried - have done well on - and then yo yo'd back again.  I find the Jenny craig chapter particularly humorous.  It actually was a motivator for me to read her inner thoughts and know that I really am not alone in this weight loss struggle.

As for skinny bitch, is it supposed to be a good one?  Any other books you can recommend?  Good Luck!! :) 

I'll keep reading it. I guess just knowing more about her, that she's still over weight, is the depressing part. I'll keep reading it though.

Skinny Bitch is more health educational I guess, with a lot of attitude. A guide to becoming a "Skinny Bitch." Skimming through it, I found a lot of it interesting and much more motivational.

I love Jen Lancaster and can not wait for the release of her next book called "My Fair Lazy". I met her last May and she is a down to earth funny person who still struggles with her weight, but does not lack self esteem (well most of the time - not unlike the real world!)

I admire her and her love for her husband and her pets! Smile

Keep on trucking!

Has she written any other books that you have read?  I think she's great too.

Thanks for the tip on her upcoming book, when is that going to be released?

I have read all of her books and I visit her website often www.jennsylvania.com. She has all of her books listeed there...

I think her new book comes out in May.....I can't wait!

 

ENJOY!
