Nothing half-assed about Jennette Fulda's Half-Assed: A Weight Loss Memoir

Filed under: Fitness, Food and Nutrition, General Health, Diet and Weight Loss, Book Reviews

Jennette Fulda, aka the Pasta Queen, was kind enough to send me a copy of her book Half-Assed: A Weight-loss Memoir to review. I knew she was funny from her blog, Half of Me, and I knew her story would be inspirational -- the girl lost over half her body weight. What I didn't know was how wrapped up I would get in her journey.

The book isn't just inspirational because Fulda lost 200 pounds -- it's inspirational because of how she did it, which Bethany touched on when she posted on Fulda's Today Show appearance. She doesn't promote any specific diet or plan in the book. Instead, she relies on good nutrition and exercise in a completely real way -- she doesn't cut calories in a way she can't maintain, and she doesn't let herself be hungry. She starts out walking for a few minutes a day on a treadmill in her house because she's embarrassed to exercise outside, and ends up enjoying running outdoors and doing Pilates.

So what makes all this so interesting? Why did I pick up the book and not set it down for 239 pages? Well, to be honest, it's really entertaining. Yes, of course, it's informative, but the girl has a wicked sense of humor. For example, when she was down to 269 pounds and realized she could feel the outline of her pelvic bone, she writes, "My gynecologist had told me I had a pelvis, but I thought she was just starting a rumor."
