Abstract
"A skilled blend of insight...and emotion" (Publishers Weekly), this memoir resonates with anyone who has ever tried to lose weight. Frances Kuffel transformed her life by losing 188 pounds—only to regain more than half. But in the process, she gained something even more valuable: four close friends she met online. Frances, Lindsay, Katie, Mimi, and Wendy quickly bonded and dubbed themselves the Angry Fat Girlz. In Eating Ice Cream with My Dog, Frances Kuffel shares a candid and witty account of a year in which five women diet, eat, lose, gain, exercise, and recover from setbacks—while striving to find their best selves. Previously published as Angry Fat Girls.
