Skinny Bitch

                                     Pardon my language... But I am quoting a book title

I read this book for the first time back in November. It changed my way of thinking big time!! This book is filled with so much information and lots of encouraging words of wisdom. Although there are a few parts I dont support, like the dairy part of it, all in the fact that I grew up on a dairy and was a dairy ambassador and still drink fresh milk at my parents house and love it!! I am also a cheese lover, but have learned to cut back on it! Also they talk about different medications and the affects on our bodies and I have to say I take certain medicines when I am sick... like midol lol! 

Read that paragraph. I love the part at the very end. Dont fixate on how much you have left to lose, keep reminding yourself how much you have lost!!

I have gone through and high lighted parts that I love in my book, I just finished reading it for the second time today and I feel recharged and empowered just like I did the first time I read it! This book is upfront and personal and these ladies tell you how it is! They are fiesty and have mouths like sailors but it makes the book real and funny. I had a hard time reading some of the chapters, like the one about animal cruelty because its graphic and made me feel a little sick, but not only is it good to know about, it needs to be brought to peoples attention... dont worry I am not going to go around wearing a PETA shirt and hating people who eat meat... because guess what even after reading the book I eat meat, I just greatly reduced my animal products to a very small amount.

There is a great chapter in the book that gives you all kinds of things to think about while your eating, it encourages you to carefully pay attention to how your body feels when you are eating, if you feel slow and sluggish and crappy... then its probably bad for you!! Eat slow and chew your food. If your going to snack on something, put a small portion on your plate, seal up the package put it away and sit down and slowly eat your snack. Its dangerous to say you will only have a few, I know I have done that with my banana chips, or pretzels and nutella the next thing I know I have eatin the whole bag!

If you want to learn alot and change how you look at every food product you put in your mouth then read it! Its a good one!
