Overview

An inspiring account of one woman's mission to lose six dress sizes and change her life for good

For Lisa Delaney, being a 'fat girl' wasn't just a matter of weight, it was a state of mind. At one hundred eighty-five pounds, she was despondent over diets that never worked and disappointed by her dull job and lack of a love life-until a late-night epiphany involving a half-gallon of ice cream convinced her that becoming a former fat girl, in body and spirit, was the key to creating a life she truly loved.

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 two.

Eye-opening, accessible, and filled with practical advice, this book reveals the seven secrets of Delaney's success, and explores how shifting from 'wannabe Former Fat Girl' to actual Former Fat Girl is as much about seeing yourself as a confident, desirable woman as it is about achieving an ideal weight.

Editorial Reviews

The Seattle Times
Realistic, smart, and exquisitely funny tips for . . . keeping the weight off for good.

    This book kinda sucked. Mostly, it is the author going on and on and on about her boring life. Being a chronic dieter myself, I was hoping to find out some useful info, or at the very least be able to read an interesting story about one woman's struggle to lose weight. This was neither. Her "advice" has been heard a dozen times before. If it was that easy to lose weight, we'd all have done it already. I wouldn't suggest this book.

    Oh my gosh, I love this book. I have always worried about my weight but this book helped me to view myself in a whole new way. I read this and things just seem to fall in to place. For anyone that is body concious, you need to read this book!!! Every teen girl should also read this.

    Lots of great info. Also very humorous. You will definitely relate to the things the author has gone through (or even done some of the same things yourself). It was just the inspiration and motivation I needed.
