Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir

Fulda wows readers with her determined persistence to shed pounds and the ability to maintain her ever-present sense of self.

Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir

by Jennette Fulda —

At age 23, Fulda decided it was time to lose some weight. Actually, more like half her weight. At the time, she weighed 372 pounds.

She was not born fat. But, by fifth grade, her response to a school questionnaire asking “what would you change about your appearance?” was “I would be thinner.” Sound familiar?

This is the captivating and incredibly honest story of her journey to get in shape, lose weight and change her life. From the beginning — dusting off her never-used treadmill and steering clear of the donut shop — to the end with her goal weight in sight, Fulda wows readers with her determined persistence to shed pounds and the ability to maintain her ever-present sense of self.
