![]() ![]() For that reason alone The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl should be required reading for anyone wanting to change any aspect of their life who lacks the courage to do so. Shauna’s steely determination to succeed and years of hard work paid off handsomely in the end. The beauty of this book is that it shows how it is possible to achieve anything if you set your mind to it. It’s enormously moving in places, but any sense of self-pity is tempered by a self-deprecating sense of humour which had me laughing out loud more than once. I loved this book and kept turning the pages well into the early hours of the morning. Along the way she finds the courage to backpack to the other side of the world and nabs herself a Scottish husband in the process. She battles depression, curbs her secret food binges and learns to love the gym. Instead it’s an enthralling novel-like narrative that follows Shauna’s ups and downs as she struggles to lose 12-and-a-half stone. ![]() There are no recipes, no quick-and-easy solutions to fighting the flab. Shauna’s story, which first appeared in blog form, is an entertaining read reminiscent of Bridget Jones Diary. So begins Shauna Reid’s refreshingly candid, often humorous and hugely inspirational The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl, which charts her seven-year battle with the bulge. I’ve got the biggest knickers in Australia. Non-fiction – paperback Corgi 400 pages 2008. ![]()
