What happens when you lose a substantial amount of weight? You get more compliments than any one person can imagine. People are quick to tell you how proud of you they are and how much of an inspiration you are to them. All of this positive reinforcement makes you think you’ve done something right.

A year or two passes
The weight that you worked so hard to shed has creeped back up and those stares of admiration turn to stares of disgust. This is what happened to Frances Kuffel.

After transforming her life by losing 188 pounds and documented that weight loss in the literary phenomenon: Passing for Thin. Frances gained national notoriety, appearing on the Weekend Today Show and the CBS Early Show. But, like the vast majority of dieters, her life transformed again when she gained over half of those pounds back. After all the struggle and hard work, she somehow lost control, once again forced to carry unbearable physical and psychological weight.

In light of re-gaining the weight, Frances formed new friendships with four women in similar situations through the power of the internet. ANGRY FAT GIRLS: 5 Women, 500 Pounds and a Year of Losing It…Again is a funny, painfully honest memoir about these five women as they diet and eat, lose and gain, and struggle to find their individual definition of freedom along the way.

Frances, Lindsay, Katie, Mimi, and Wendy dub themselves the Angry Fat Girlz and ask themselves-and each other-the difficult questions: Who am I inside all this weight? How much am I allowed to enjoy myself, and how much do I have to deny myself? What could I do if I was thin? In ANGRY FAT GIRLS, Frances Kuffel shares their story and the struggle to find their best selves along the way.

This is the book for anyone who has ever lost it…only to gain back it again.

How Angry would you be if you lost those unwanted pounds and then gained them back plus some?
