Dietgirl is copyrighted in 2008 by Corgi, a division of Transworld Publishers. Now available through Avon Books.
Dietgirl is a book published from the blog of a fun, intelligent young lady named Shauna. Shauna has a weight problem that she really doesn’t want to have anymore. She is young and has things she wants to accomplish and doesn’t want her weight to hold her back anymore.
The book begins as a weight loss journal but as Shauna becomes more comfortable with her blog, she begins to add more and more personal thoughts and feelings into the entries. We learn the roles her parents played in forming her personality as well as his sister. It is heartwarming to watch her evolve from a shy, holding-herself-back young lady into a confident person who decides to make major life changes with gusto!
As the weight comes off, Shauna’s personality emerges as she quits her job and decides to move to Scotland to work and use a travel base with her sister Rhiannon. We are privileged to be a part of her her adventures as she travels across Europe and even falls in love with a wonderful young man as she steps from her cocoon. I think the book is a much about watching Shauna grow up as it is about her growing thin.
I really enjoyed Shauna’s story as much for her personality and sense of humor as for the weight loss journey itself.
