Waisted by Randy Susan Meyers
4.0
I anticipate this book to have very mixed reactions. Waisted is the story of seven women who go to a retreat in Vermont to learn how to accept themselves and heal in order to lose weight and be the size they are meant to be. However once they get there they very quickly learn the next seven weeks will not be what they expected.
That sounds like the premise of a horror book and for some it would be. The story focuses on Alice and Daphne. Alice is a mixed race woman in her mid thirties who grew up surrounded by unconditional love. After six years of marriage and weight gain she learns about this followup documentary from her documentarian husband and runs off to lose weight in order to get his love back. Daphne is mother of two teenagers and wife of a saintly husband, but she grew up the largest of her family with a mother always wanting her to diet.
This book is about how these women find their inner strength and learn that they are strong capable women no matter what they look like on the outside. While this is fiction I definitely feel like this is a motivational story that anyone can find something to take away.
