    Wow that book sounds GOOD. I love books like that where I can relate so deeply to the author.

    There’s a book called Moose by Stephanie Klein that is SO good. I highly recommend you check it out!

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Yep! It’s great so far. Pick it up at the library.

      I read Moose! And the other book she wrote, I can’t remember the name of it now. Good books!

    I have not read that book, but it definitely sounds interesting. I can totally relate to some of those quotes you posted. It makes me a little sad.

    1. Lisa Eirene

      I felt the same way, Diana. I’m looking forward to finishing the book tonight, even if it’s a little painful to read.

    Another Weeds fan! Holla’!

    Don’t tell me anything happening… I’m so behind it’s not even right. Don’t have Showtime… πŸ™

      LOVE Weeds! Great show. I’m behind a season I think. I just finished the newest season to be out on Netflix.

    I am going to have to add that to my running list on Amazon.

    Huge Weeds fan!

    I think my fear is still the fear of feeling my feelings. I’m not “stuffing” them anymore, but I am still avoiding them for the most part, or at least “packaging” them in blog posts.

      Having a blog is very therapeutic!

    I haven’t read the book, but will put it on my list. I find these types of stories fascinating. I don’t know why, I’ve never been over 200 lbs, but somehow I feel like I can relate with the stories. Right now I’m reading Half-Assed, a weight loss memoir. It’s so far really good, I’m only about 40 pages into it.

      I loved Half-Assed. It was a great book.

      Designated Fat Girl was good but the ending disappointed me. πŸ™
