Finding It: And Satisfying My Hunger For Life Without Opening The Fridge (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I didn't like this audiobook as much as her first book (Losing It). This is the follow up on how she has managed to keep the weight off while being a Jenny Craig spokesperson and her new marriage. There isn't as much depth and history in this book. It seems like it was thrown together as a followup but it only covers a few years of her life. She talks alot about her son in this book with lots of personal details of his life. Just what every teenage wants his mom to do. I do like that she read this book again. I like hearing someone's story in their voice. Valerie was miserable being 40 pounds overweight and losing the weight didn't just change her body, it changed her demeanor, her self-esteem and her outlook on life. I guess, if I were a TV actress, I'd be obsessed with my body too. Luckily, I'm not. I just finished this audio book today. It was good, but not great. Valerie's philosophy and advice about weight loss are not universal. Not everyone is miserable with themselves because of being overweight and not everyone who loses has all their problems worked out as a result. She has some good thoughts about maintenance, where I'll be in a couple of years. If you're a fan of Valerie, you'll enjoy the book. She's a fun, pleasant, mostly positive person.
What do You think about Finding It: And Satisfying My Hunger For Life Without Opening The Fridge (2009)?
Funny. Insightful. I'm not even on a diet and I could relate to her.
