Judy Gruen
1 Loved it!
This is a great book that most people who have tried to diet and exercise can relate to. I had a hard time putting it down because it is a great and funny read. I could relate to alot of the things she did. You won't be disappointed in this book.
2 Funny!
I saw myself in allot of the different ways that Judy was tring to lose weight. I love her humor and I too love that chocolate. You must read this one!
3 You're gonna love this!
I am not a big "humor" reader--but combine humor with the pitfalls of food and my interest was peaked. I'm so glad it was--this book had me in hysterics and reading outloud. Judy Gruen has a way with humor that is much like Erma Bombeck. You won't be able to resist this or put it down. Definitely check this one out.
4 The funny side of dieting
Nothing is funnier than someone who can take real life and look at it through the lens of humor. Judy Gruen does this skillfully in her new book "Till We Eat Again: Confessions of a Diet Dropout". Judy touches a resonating chord in everyone who has ever tried to diet as you read through her diary style collection of secret thoughts, frustrations, and even occasional victories. Throughout the book you find Judy trying everything she can think of to try to drop fifteen pounds before her 20-year college reunion. Every kind of diet, every kind of exercise, anything else she can find as she works. Although her writing style is so crisp and quick-witted that anyone will find it humorous, it is really written from a woman's point of view and women are more likely to find it laugh-out-loud funny. To test my theory I handed the book to two different women and left the room. Sure enough it wasn't ten minutes before I heard snickering and the occasional laugh floating down the hallway. "Till We Eat Again" is a highly recommended book for anyone who has tried to lose weight and can relate to the hysterical things we do to ourselves in the name of losing a few pounds. Pick up a copy and have a great laugh.
5 Hilarious Adventures in Weight-Loss
My teenage daughter and I laughed our way through the book. I can't wait for my youngest daughter to read it.
Judy logs a hilarious account of her weight-loss adventures in a remarkably insightful example of the extremes some of us (eager to lose those pesky pounds) subject ourselves. Similar to Loretta LaRoche's don't-take-yourself-too-serious style, Judy teaches us the way to a healthy lifestyle in the happiest way to manage our weight. Judy pokes fun at our absurd behavior by poking fun at her own follies, and judging by her book jacket photo, she's a lovely woman who has found the perfect balance.
6 More than just confessions...
This light-hearted, downright funny book gives new meaning to the word •À?confessions•À?. It characterizes the diary of a woman who is on a mission •À? a mission of life or death (at least in the eyes of those who embrace fitness and health over enjoying a carefree lifestyle). If you•À?ve ever conversed with people who know all of the calorie and fat counts of foods while you roll your eyes, you•À?ll take pleasure in life from Ms. Gruen•À?s perspective while she readies herself for an important reunion that will surely change her food and exercise behaviors.
Unless you•À?re naturally one of those skinny people, you•À?ve attempted (and possibly succeeded) in many different diet plans. Ms. Gruen has the writing talent to take her diet attempts to new hilarious levels. After reading Till We Eat Again, I was forced to take a long-hard look at my eating escapades •À? and vowed to never tell anyone that I was dieting again!
When I was finished reading Till We Eat Again, I was humbled to know that this baby-pouch of noodle muscles I blame on carrying my four children was not just my problem •À? it•À?s a problem of other women, too! I keep telling myself that my abs of steel days are long gone and I need to focus on how great I feel when I•À?m weightless in the bathtub.
7 How I got Motivated To Lose Weight!
This book really is motivating me to lose weight! I even read the book while I'm on the cardio machines at my health club. The text is very funny - I even laugh out loud! The book is very creative and humorous. I would highly recommend this book!
8 I didn't think losing weight can be so fuuny...
This is a book that I can relate too. I've tried almost every weight lost program that Judy has described in her book (with the exception of "The Major").
I think that all the Doctor's that wrote books about the ups and downs of weight should read Judy's book. It's common sense with loads of wit and humour.
Laughing burns calories and now I'm down to a size 4.
9 Helps you laugh and lose weight!
"Til We Eat Again" had me laughing out loud. Anyone who has tried to diet and exercise their way to a svelte, or at least leaner, figure can appreciate Judy Gruen's wry view of the process and her willingness to poke fun at herself and the diet gurus as she goes through it. I haven't laughed this much while reading a book in a long time.
