Thin?

The idea of ending dieting and all the body hatred and forgetting about the pounds is... well it's a dream come true for all women no? So I was very intrigued by Valerie Frankel's book Thin is the New Happy (side note: I don't think I've linked to Fantastic Fiction before and want to take a moment to talk about how awesome this site is. It really lives up to it's name and it's a not so secret reference tool librarians are using all the time!)

Frankel describes her decision to give up the weight war and just eat when shes hungry stop when she isn't and forget about the numbers on the scale. And get this, she loses weight! She gains confidence and style! She inspires!

I don't really want to go on and on about this book but it was pretty awesome. The reader is certainly able to relate to the story. It's not a sad depressing woe is me and weight war kind of story though, there is a lot of humor and hope woven in. I absolutely loved listening to it!
