Roxane says right away that it’s not going to be one of those books where she magically gets skinny in the end. My family and friends have been pretty cautious about commenting on my weight since I “carry my weight well” but some have made comments about how losing weight might help me get pregnant.
So often, I have said “Oh I had a crappy day I need to eat x as a treat.” I have been trying to replace that with eating to survive and that has helped.īut also she talks a lot about how everyone has an opinion about her weight and even though it is often out of love, it still hurts. I became the girl who sought out risky sexual behaviour rather than run from it. I don’t think I gained weight to protect myself from men per say as I always relished in the attention (after being raped and sexually assaulted many times).

I am currently reading it. loseit running clubĬentury Club - For those who have lost or would like to lose 100lb+
