Great Book

I read this book back in the early 90's and it actually helped me lose weight! I just read it again and it all came back to me how good this book is and somewhat of an inspiration for women.... I recommend this one for a good read, with laughs and a few weeping moments.

Fabulous fun read!

Diana is 40 some pounds overweight and lives with an unappreciative husband in the suburbs who dumps her for his dental assistant because frankly she is just not exciting enough. Much to his chagrin, the dental assistant with her breast implants, bleached teeth and hair and desire to buy, buy, buy is not the most desirable either. Diana goes to the doctor and he prescribes a low fat diet. Forget calories or carbs, just eat low fat and you will lose weight. (The book was written during the low fat craze). Diana follows her doctor's suggestions and loses her weight revealing a drop dead gorgeous body. She highlights her hair, buys new clothes and voila from dumpy and frumpy to lovely and sophisticated. In the process she writes a best selling diet book, saves the three amigos candy bar from raising their fat content and finds a new true love. Naturaly the former hubby wants her back when he sees how ravishing she has become. The book is a fun read from start to finsih. And the ending is great though the private jet she purchases with earnings from her weight loss empire may be pushing the envelope a bit. A fun read..just don't take it too seriously. Low fat or not calories count!

very good and inspiring

i really loved this book. i have read it about three or four times. it really inspires me to be as successful as she was at reaching her goals.

Read it in '93...LOVED IT!!!

I read this book in 1993. I laughed; I cried...I'm ordering it now for my sister. A MUST for every woman who has had doubts about herself and her sexuality. Read it and weep, cheer, laugh out loud!!!
