Till We Eat Again: Confessions of a Diet Dropout
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Can a woman who will follow you anywhere if you promise her a hunk of chocolate pecan pie ever change her evil ways and find happiness as a gym rat? Can this same sugar-addicted female find glory doing bicep curls and chomping down collard greens, with only the occasional breakdown over a crumb ring donut?
Till We Eat Again: Confessions of a Diet Dropout follows Judy Gruen's true adventures as she tries to lose fifteen measly pounds in time for a 20-year college reunion. And she pulls no punches, except during boxing class: Judy belly dances to the "camel," runs laps while an Army major blows his whistle at a fitness boot camp, and gets tangled in yoga positions so bizarre the paramedics need the "Jaws of Life" to get her out. She'll also try to figure out who's got the straight skinny on nutritional news, as medical researchers conclude that even drinking too much water can kill you. After months of these and other indignities, she'll earn a bookmark made of real paper for losing five pounds on Weight Watchers.
Will she meet her weight loss goal? (Hint: This book is non-fiction!) Turn each laugh-filled page and find out!
About the Author
Judy Gruen's first book, Carpool Tunnel Syndrome: Motherhood as Shuttle Diplomacy, catapulted her from complete literary obscurity to only partial literary obscurity. A resident of Los Angeles, Gruen continues to go to the gym, despite the close proximity of too many women with really toned arms. She will still follow you anywhere if you promise her a Hershey bar. Her humor has been published in Woman's Day, Ladies Home Journal, and the anthologies 101 Damnations: The Humorists' Guide to Personal Hells (St. Martins) and Mirth of a Nation (HarperCollins).
