2008-08-02 Jemima J - inspiration to all us curvacious women!!

I absolutely love this book, each time I have felt a little down about my weight-loss I have picked it up and read it and it lifts my spirits each time! Its just a lovely story told in a lovely sympathetic way and unlike most other books does not make the 'fat girl' a laughing figure or figure of fun. One of the other reviewers said that it doesn't go in-depth into eating disorders, but if you read between the lines the basic crux of the eating disorder that she has is a totally disapproving mother, but thats going much deeper into it....there is a jemima j in all of us (yes even the most skinny of skinny women will have image issues at some point in their lives), this is a must read for all women whatever their age, its inspirational, uplifting, made me laugh and made me cry, in the end it left me feeling very happy...Enjoy...
