Fellow bookworm reviews of this book are uneven, reflecting the same quality in the book. While I can't say I'm normally drawn to tales of weight loss, this actually has a subtext that I related to: the struggle we all face of balancing self & self esteem against the brutal, often unrealistic expectations of a looks-ist society. I actually respect her complete lack of self-loathing, despite being medically obese.
For example, after admiring her own reflection in the mirror one day, lovingly detailing why she adores each and every body part, she decides to document the start of her weight loss journey by snapping a picture of herself. As she then looks at it on her computer, she wonders: "how the f**k did Jabba the Hut get into my bedroom, and why is he wearing my pearls?"
Like I said, a fun & endearing read.
