You can call me a Skinny Bitch! (August '09 Issue)

"You cannot keep eating the same shit and expect to get skinny. Or smoke. So don’t even try some pathetic excuse like, ‘But if I quit smoking, I’ll gain weight.’ No one wants to hear it. Cigarettes are for losers. They are so 1989 and totally uncool.”

These were some of the first sentences in the 1st chapter of Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin’s Skinny Bitch, a #1 New York Times Bestseller that serves as a guide to helping modern day women become healthier and well, a “skinny bitch.”

However the authors don’t mean “bitch” as in an attitude nor a female dog for that matter. They are very keen on promoting self-awareness and a healthy lifestyle. Never had I read a book that was brutally honest and shocking! I couldn’t believe I was getting yelled at for my eating habits and I even sat with my mouth ajar when I was being cursed at for eating meat! Yes, there are many cuss words. This book used obscenities that I find vulgar, even in this day & age.
