Description

After undergoing gall bladder surgery at age 23, 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 listeners with her determined persistence to shed pounds and the ability to maintain her ever-present sense of self.

I love it!

This book was funny, uplifting and incredibly honest. I could relate to it in so many ways. I'm still battling with my weight but reading this and hearing her struggles really lets me know I am not alone and if I keep moving forward I can get there.

Somehow it works

If you come into this book for the author’s personal story: to spend some time in someone else’s life with their goals and anxieties and personal needs and perspective, you’ll have an interesting experience.

She’s got a lot to say for someone who doesn’t seem to do (at the point of publication, at least) a whole lotta living. Like, she goes to school. And works. And lives alone. And has a cat. And loses weight… But losing weight is a full time job - not just the physical process but an emotional and social one. And that’s where things get interesting.

I’ve never read a story like it. I’m not sure I can think of another weight loss memoir that wasn’t embedded in some #influencer’s YouTube channel. It’s not a shiny before and after, nor a body positivity polemic, nor is it motivational thinspiration. It’s just one woman’s story of doing something hard, for herself, so that she can live a bit more comfortably (physically and, yes, socially — which she explores with candor). And what the whole business of losing a lot of weight was like for her.

I dug it.
