Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster

Jen Lancaster continues to be my new favorite author. I love her personality and humor and so far I've loved everything I've read by her. (Her blog, jennsylvania.com is hilarious!)

Such a Pretty Fat chronicles her weight loss attempts and eventual success. But the best part of this is that while she is working hard to lose weight, she isn't doing it because she is that self-concious. Despite her weight she was always comfortable with her body and always has a high-self esteem, which I really admire. Her desire to lose weight was prompted more for health reasons than a problem with self image.

Her wit, humor, and success has even inspired me to join a gym and try to become healthier. Of course I can't hire a personal trainer like she did, but I figure just working out myself is a step in the right direction!

If you've never read anything by Jen Lancaster, I highly recommend any of her books. There are four currently in print and her newest one is due out in May.
