Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
After undergoing gall bladder surgery at age twenty-three, Jennette Fulda decided it was time to lose some weight. Actually, more like half her weight. At the time, Jennette weighed 372 pounds.
Jennette was not born fat. But, by fifth grade, her response to a school questionnaire asking “what would you change about your appearance” was “I would be thinner.” Sound familiar?
Half-Assed is the captivating and incredibly honest story of Jennette’s journey to get in shape, lose weight, and change her life. From the beginning—dusting off her never-used treadmill and steering clear of the donut shop—to the end with her goal weight in sight, Jennette wows readers with her determined persistence to shed pounds and the ability to maintain her ever-present sense of self.

Jennette Fulda doesn't want to be your diet guru. You won't find menus or lists of super foods or exercise plans. It isn't a poor me sob tale either. This book is about what it means to be obese and Jennette's journey to no longer be such. Along the way she finds her voice which is both honest and beautiful. I'd recommend this book to both those who struggle with their weight as well as those who have people in their lives that do.
