A Journey Worth Taking

I throughly enjoyed this book. Carnie is very funny and she gives a personal and detailed story that is shared by many. The personal point of view was greatly welcomed. I loved her humor and her insight. She shared herself in a way that I would be afraid to. She shed light on many issues that we as obese people usually overlook or ignore. Carnie is a very brave and inspiring person. Everyone considering having WLS should read this very personal story. Anyone that has had the WLS and does not have any support should also read this book. This is not only a story but a helpful guide into a brave new world.

Humorous, Uplifiting, Exciting, Heartfelt....

Especially for someone who has gone through WLS, this book is a wonderful read. Carnie Wilson's writing style is down to earth, never too technical, and always heartfelt. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even for people who have merely struggled with weight and not had WLS, I highly suggest reading this book!!

pass it around

Carnie's new book is a great tool for people thinking about weight loss surgery or for people who've had surgery in the means that much of what she writes about relates to WLS patients. I myself had surgery in April of this year (2003) and found much comfort in the words Carnie had written.She talks about her playboy ordeal within the book and does a good job with getting as descriptive as she can about the whole thing. Reading the book also helped me to understand her better as a person in spite of all the different media coverage she has got because of her boldness to be open about WLS.Out of everything, I really enjoyed how she included her food and exercise routine as it proved to be incredibly helpful in my weight loss journey. Like another reviewer, I found that the book was short, I read it in a couple sittings, but the humor throughout made up for it's length.I would recommend this book to everyone.

You go girl!

Carnie's second book talks about what happens after the surgery is done. You still have all the emotional problems you had when you were fat. I had my surgery in August of 2001. I know that I can relate to much of what she is saying in this book. She is honest and tells it like it is. She is an inspiration! Posing for Playboy? You go girl!!

Carnie does it again!

I just finished this book. Her first book was great but this one was awesome! I had gastric bypass surgery in Aug of 2001. Carnie truly is an inspiration! This book talks about how losing all the weight does not magically fix all our personal problems. She tells it like it is and doesn't hold back. I think it is awesome that she decided to accept Playboy's offer to pose. You go girl!
