Hello..can't remember if I posted this or not...sharing it with another board, too.
I was Border's last week (what a surprise - my fantasy is being accidentally locked in the store all night) and picked up a couple of books, one of which is new - (C)2004 - and it is a paperback called "The Weight Loss Diaries: A Tale of Binges, Guilt, Fat days, New-Me Shopping Sprees, Exercise, More Binges AND...How I Learned to Deal with My Lifelong Weight Loss Struggle"....
Pantpantpant....DEEP BREATH...By Courtney Rubin, Shape magazine's former 'Weight Loss Diary' columnist.
Ok....I need to rest now.

For those of you that are new, these books are about being fat, struggles, vistories, tips on how to deal with people who question you about your size, misconceptions, studies about obesity, truths and lies about being fat, and so on.
1. 'The Fat Girls Guide to Life' by Wendy Shanker
(Shawna recommended it to me and I loved it!)
2. 'FAT!SO?' by Marilyn Wann
(My personal life-changing bible. Even though I still lost weight, it really helped
get my head and facts together. If you can't find it in the bookstore, they or
Amazon.com will)
3. 'The Weight Loss Diaries' by Courtney Rubin
(If you have any semblance of an eating disorder, binge, or bounce back and forth
between the same 15 pounds, this is the biik for you. Her whining got a little
old towards the end, but I did like the book.)
These books can be found in a combination of places - Psych/Eating Disorders/Women's Studies/Recovery, but if you can't find it, ask.
Have a great day, guys! I mean ladies....
