Look, I’m all about self-acceptance. I’ve regained every pound of my Divorce Diet weight, and stand my my declaration that I’d rather be heavier and happy than emaciated with a correspondingly skinny spirit. I don’t desperately need to diet and so I won’t, not least of all because I suck at it and all the effort isn’t worth looking marginally better five pounds lighter.
But if we can step outside of the fat obsession perfectionistic silliness for a second, if you do need to lose weight and could use a little support, check out my friend Rebecca’s new e-book, Your Twitter Diet, all about how she used Twitter for help losing the lbs. It comes out next week and you can download FOR FREE tomorrow, Feburary, 2, Groundhog Day.
How appropriate that the giveaway is on Groundhog Day, because anyone who has ever dieted knows the feeling that she’s doing the same thing again and again. Hopefully this funny, fun book (her blog, Doesthisblogmakeuslookfat.com is a riot) will break you of that, AND help you figure out how to use Twitter if you haven’t yet. And I haven’t, really, so I’ll be clicking myself a copy.
Anyway, here’s the link to Amazon, but through here you can get it’s also free any which digital way you do it. Let Rebecca know what you think!
I don’t diet, and not just because I suck at it. For me–Miss Teen Bulimia 1983–it triggers all kinds of obsessional thinking that makes me rebel against my own restrictions. Before I know it, I’ve eschewed the steamed veggies and grilled chicken and am chomping through sleeves of Girl Scout cookies like Ms. Pac Man on a bender, and I wind up gaining weight and feeling like a big ol’ loser who is lacking in willpower to boot. And then there’s the tiny, minor detail I managed to ignore for almost 30 years: I don’t really need to lose weight. Sure, I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I don’t need to, and I’ve finally realized that as long as I’m going to eat what I want, I may as well feel neutral about it instead of like crying.
