The Big Skinny: How I Changed My Fattitude

"Carol lays her waist on the line" with her battle with the bulge as told in The Big Skinny: How I Changed My Fattitude.
In this world of "Hollywood" conditioning of visual worth, it is hard
for many to find happiness. A wandering eye that gazes at your stomach
leaves you wondering if people think you are fat. It’s a daily inward
struggle that judges your self worth each day and leaves you in the
dumps. Carol battle this problem as best as she knows, cartooning. She
is a one woman artistic critic of human life with a critical sense of
unique wry thrown in for good measure with her weight problem.  There
are many facets to dieting that start from controlled to clinical
admittance. You need  a sense of humor to see the whole scope of the
weight lose industry that feeds on the paranoia of many who are not
educated on weight gain and lose. It good to see that one can laugh at the whole thing. Preview of book>>For
most of her life Carol Lay tried unsuccessfully to lose weight.
She tried diet pills, low carb and food combination diets, hypnosis and
Weight Watchers, but never managed to keep off the weight for more than
a  few months. But five years ago, something clicked — Carol
reached her goal weight of 125 lbs and has maintained it ever since.
Now
the California cartoonist shows how she lost weight by exercising and
counting calories, conveying information, encouragement, and experience
through poignant, humorous, and imaginative stories. For instance — if
you’ve never imagined how you’d deal with the diet challenges of Girl
Scouts at your door or George Clooney offering to share his McDonald’s
takeout — don’t worry, Carol has. She also knows what it’s like to
experience a broken heart and have no one to comfort you except Ben
& Jerry. She’s been there, and she’ll tell you and show you what it
was like — and give you the tools and inspiration so you can do it, too.
