These types of books were popular with me back then because it helped to know that others felt the same way, but honestly, I'd often go off the deep end after reading about someone's life so now I am very careful when I pick up books related to diet and or food in general.

Have to admit that I DNFed it. I just couldn't get through it. I didn't find it funny in the least - not even bitingly. Just not my cup of tea. I can understand your connection to the book, because I've struggled with my weight for years, too (and still do). That's another part of the reason I read this book. However, I just found I couldn't engage with it so I had to put it down. Maybe I'm too sensitive. I don't know. I just didn't like this one.
