To Hell With Diet Books
While I do enjoy depressing, self-loathing memories about anorexia such as found in Wasted and Appetites, I prefer to be inspired by the heroines in my novels rather than feel sorry for them. I’ve listed my top five best picks that have inspired me to become food and exercise-obsessed when I needed it the most. Thank you, former fat girls-turned-novelists.
1. Skinny Bitch, Rory Freedman
2. Jemima J, Jane Green
3. Thin is the New Happy, Valerie Frankel
4. The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl, Shauna Reid
5. Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist’s Quest To Discover if Her Life Makes Her Ass LookBig, Or Why Pie is Not The Answer, Jen Lancaster

Wow Jemima J, god how I love this book! Nobody else I know has even heard of it but it sure makes you want to work out and stop eating junk (for a week or so).
