I'm Not the New Me

Synopsis:

I’m Not the New Me takes a hilarious and sometimes poignant look at the absurdities of weight loss culture. It’s a memoir of the author’s struggle to define herself both online and in the flesh. As a self-proclaimed dieting fat girl, she traces her journey in uneasy steps leading her to a karaoke stage in Vegas, a scale at a garage sale, a Weight Watchers meeting in a bleak office basement, and finally to her website Pound, the universe she created for herself when she couldn’t see herself as a kicky Success Story.
