Product Description

There's no shortage of dieting advice out there, but we're all still dieting--and Joanne Kimes knows why. It's all about the truth--and the truth is, dieting sucks. In this hilarious book, she helps you through the confusing maze of fad diets, exercise crazes, and self-defeating habits that drive you straight to the fridge. Admitted serial dieter Kimes tackles such touchy, tricky topics as:
  • Alternate Uses for Home Exercise Equipment Once You Stop Using It
  • Diets I Could Get My Big Ol' Behind Behind
  • Serving Size Matters
    If you've ever been on a diet, failed at a diet, or eaten a squirt of whipped cream straight from the can, you'll appreciate Kimes's direct, take-no-prisoners approach to the absurd necessity that is dieting. Dieting may suck, but with Kimes as your dieting buddy, you'll laugh all the way to dessert, no matter what your size.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Too Good!, January 29, 2007
    I bought this book and read it in 1 night and absolutely loved it. I have 50 pounds to lose and bought this book with the hope that it would be a great reference book to inspire me throughout the dieting process. I plan on keeping it with me all through the process and refer to it when I need to laugh or need that extra bit of inspiration as this book has both.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny approach to dieting, January 10, 2007
    I laughed out loud reading this book. Joanne Kimes tells funny stories that we can all relate to while actually giving us information. It makes dealing with the stressful world of dieting a bit easier. I have already given a copy of this book to a friend who is also miserable on her diet... at least this will make her laugh.
