BOOK NEWS: Thin is the New Happy

Since I'm currently reading - and loving - Valerie Frankel's The Not-So-Perfect Man, I mosied on over to her website to see what's new and found that she has a memoir coming out in September.

Like so many women in today's society, Valerie Frankel's world was dictated by her weight, from starvation and binge eating to her self-loathing and total preoccupation with her weight. Not wanting to pass this legacy on to her own daughters, Valerie set out to cleanse herself of these painful and damaging cycles. Yes, she lost twenty pounds and two dress sizes along the way - without dieting a single day. But more than that, she's come out on the other side, loving her body, herself, and finally being free.

I've actually already read three weightloss memoirs this year, but I've loved two of them (review of the third coming soon) and frankly find the entire subject fascinating so I know I'm going to love Frankel's book. Plus, the woman is hilarious.
