“ANGRY FAT GIRLS is about women, weight loss, body image, and what did and did not learn growing up fat, and why losing weight — and keeping it off — is so hard. This is not Valerie Bertinelli in a bikini, promising that is she can do it, you can; this is about ’serial relapsers’ and why my cat knows how to eat ice cream of a spoon. This book is honest, true, and occasionally very funny.”

- Cheryl Peck, author of FAT GIRLS AND LAWN CHAIRS

“A wake-up call to anyone who believes that weight management is a quick and easy feat. It’s not. And Kuffel’s greatest gift is a blast of hopeful reality for any brave reader ready to take herself on and honestly face her own food and weight demons.”

- Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, Chief Medical Correspondent for Discovery Health Channel and author of FIGHT FAT AFTER FORTY

If you’ve ever lost weight and gained it back, you can likely relate to Angry Fat Girls: 5 Women, 500 Pounds and a Year of Losing It . . . Again (Berkley Hardcover, $23.95), by Frances Kuffel. She is a New York-based short story and book author and columnist who transformed her life by losing 188 pounds, documenting it in a previous book, “Passing for Thin.” But she gained more than half the weight back. In this book, she shares her story and those of four women, who found each other over the Internet, facing similar situations. It’s a funny, painfully honest memoir as these women diet, lose and gain and struggle to find their definition of freedom.
