I had a fabulous birthday and wonderful anniversary with my dear husband. One of my birthday gifts was a gift card to purchase some new books for my Kindle. One of the books I purchased was How to Eat Like a Hot Chick by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent. I originally heard about the book on Facebook. One of my friends was a fan of their How to Live Like a Hot Chick page. The page offers useful advice for women everywhere. The advice is often the kind of advice that epitomizes who I want to be, who I think I am, etc. After reading their posts I started looking in to their books. I decided to give the How to Eat Like a Hot Chick book a chance. What I liked about the book is that it is not a diet. It's just lifestyle changes, maybe not even changes, more like tips. They also take a perspective that I love...the concept is we are all beautiful. It's sort of a book on how to live a confident life as the beautiful woman you are. It's a quick read and I suggest you pick it up or check it out from the library. Of course like any book there are things to take with a grain of salt. Most of it though is just straight forward...like how to approach the salad bar, how to splurge, daily habits that make sense, and why eating spinach is great for your body. I also appreciated that they suggest physical activity, about an hour a day. It's a simple approach and one that really doesn't deprive a person of anything, which I love!
Really, my favorite part of this book is that they don't put words like fat, skinny, and beautiful on the same level. Words relating to size never relate to beauty! Beauty is something that comes from within, it's your confidence, your personality, who you are. Even when I am frustrated with losing weight, I still know I am beautiful. I don't think I have a big head or an ego the size of Texas, I'm just confident. Obviously, I want to lose weight for health reasons and know my quality of life would be improved. Not because beauty has to do with the size of my pants, but everything to do with what really matters in life! So, I hope all of you know this too. You are beautiful.
(Psst...this is where I would cue a great song like Mika...Big Girls You Are Beautiful or My Wish by Rascal Flatts)
