So my friend van sent me 2 ebooks that she said were fab and an interesting read… so being kinda bored on weekends I decided to print Good In Bed and miraculously read (partially), Jemima. Van almost always reminds me to read since I can relate daw to the books. I started with Good In Bed which is about a large woman who couldn’t get over her past love Bruce, then now am starting to read Jemima which is not surprisingly about a Large woman again (But I have yet to find out, as van who hopefully did not exaggerate said it is way nicer than Good In Bed)
I was a little stunned when I found out that both books were about overweight girls. I was expecting it would be one of those no brainer, about a semi-dimwit, clumsy girl who was chosen over a model look-a-like by some divine guy we can only read in books. But like I mentioned it was all about fats.
However, I couldn’t agree more when van said I can relate. Should be since like the protagonists Cannie and Jemima, I…
Struggled with weight for years
At one time gulped all the slimming teas and even tried diet pills
May have overdosed on Laxatives
Drunk too much diet sodas and tried Equal and Splenda as sweeteners
Would sometimes dream having a fabulous body (like Jessica Alba)
Enrolled in online diet tracking, formulated a diet (success/fail) tracking sheet in Excel and bought myself a weighing scale
But unlike Cannie and Jemima, I never got around loving my body and accepted the (unfabulous!) curves. I went on a diet that I may be feeling the effect now by constantly being sickly and sometimes always feeling sleepy.
However though, there is nobody else who can relate to their struggles, failures and little successes that is normally followed by binges. I can relate to those sufferings like when u just swallowed a cake after successfully not eating dinner the night before or buying yourself a breakfast from McDo after a jogging.
But despite the almost similar plot but a different ending. Both books were a good reminder to never lose sight on what’s real beauty and to never lose that sunny personality as same with Jemima and Cannie, they won over their boys by making fun of themselves a little and not taking their struggles too seriously. Hihih!
