Jennette Fulda is the author of Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir. I read her blog and twitter feed religiously. Because, seriously, how can you not like it when someone names her first book "half-assed"?!
And, also: she lost 186 pounds and still dreams about having a removable stomach and then blogs about it in a post that refers to birth control that doesn't make you shit your pants. Therefore I worship at her feet and promise her my second-born. If she wants it, that is.
Today, she says, in part:
"Going to the gym is ridiculous. I think this every time I am at the gym. I think this when I get in my car and drive two miles to go run two miles. ... There is something deeply ridiculous about watching the men and women around me operating machines solely to exhaust themselves. They're not sweating to manufacture shoes. They're not hunched over setting type to print newspapers. They're not even running the machine that punches holes in donuts. We're just running and rowing and lifting heavy objects so we'll be able to run and row and lift heavy objects."
