Skinny Bitch - My Vague Review

[thejessecougar]

I ended up skimming-reading the whole book on Friday night.  It's really tiny and short so it was accidental.

Cons:  Berating language and seemingly harsh messages (slobs, fat is unhealthy, etc.).  I think they do a suitable job of clarify most of this stuff towards the end of the book.  I am also not sold on their list of "acceptable" foods since

I went ahead and put a hold on it at the library. All the copies of it are out here.

One thing that I thought they did a good job at when I was flipping through it was getting across the point if you don't care about your body no one else will and you have to make it a priority. I really want to get their cookbook when it comes out.

Yeah, I liked that point -- specifically how it relates to how UNtrustworthy the FDA actually is as well, which they spend some time on.

I just figured out how to check my library holds and I'm number 47 in line for this book. I might not read it till after Christmas. Good think I went ahead and put a hold on it when I did.

Oh god, yeah, I am still 3 of 18 on a DVD and something similar on some other stuff. I was 2 out of 98 for Al Gore's book though! :)
