The Big Skinny: How I Changed My Fattitude (Paperback)

From Booklist

A middle-aged cartoonist who has dealt with her own overeating and weight fluctuations since adolescence coaches readers in the simple but sturdy method she adopted to lose extra pounds, keep them off, and feel better emotionally and physically. Using herself as the model for learning calorie counting, accessible exercising, low-fat cooking, and the important social skills needed to turn down ruinously rich foods graciously in the office and at parties, Lay provides clear-eyed guidance free of touting memberships in commercial weight-loss programs, self-pity, and problems with sustainability. She draws her world with realism, showing how her body looked first as it burgeoned and then during times of severe fluctuation, depicting expressions on acquaintances’ faces as she discusses—and wisely chooses not to discuss—her reasons for saying “no thank you” to calorie-loaded offerings, and guiding readers through simple exercise regimens. She supplemen (buy now …)

But somewhere deep inside have you always admired the people who could reach down and come up with the mental and physical strength to complete such a daunting and rewarding accomplishment? It doesn’t have to be somebody else crossing the finish line. You can be a marathoner. The Non-Runner’s Marathon Trainer is based on the highly successful marathon class offered by the University of Northern Iowa, which was featured in a Runner’s World article titled “Marathoning 101.” The class has been offered five times over 10 years, and all but one student finished the marathon.
