* PREVIOUSLY RELEASED AS 'HANDBOOK FOR ADORABLE FAT GIRLS*
Oh my word, it can be hard sometimes…. You turn on the television, and there are all the Strictly dancers who weigh about three stone each with legs no wider than your fingers, so you turn over...you can’t be doing with three stone dancers.
So, it's off with them and onto the next channel. This will be a better programme, on it comes and it's...Love Island - yay, young people with hollow stomachs and legs like gazelles wandering across the screen with negative fat content.
Right, you say - putting one final channel on...you reach for the remote control and...it's a cooking programme. Oh, that will be good. Except everyone on the programme is thin. Why are the people who are cooking and eating so thin?
For the love of God - why Is everyone skinny? Am I the only fat person in the village?
I’ll have a packet of biscuits to make myself feel better.
Oh no, I won’t. I can’t have biscuits because I’m overweight.
I’ll have cheese and biscuits.
Oh no - can’t have those either.
What am I going to do?
Sit down and munch on broccoli until I go green with rage, and rugby tackle the television through the window?
No, I need to move away from the television.
What you need to do is breathe, pick up your copy of Bernice Bloom’s Handbook and enter a world in which other people are overweight, and you’re not alone.
This Handbook is REQUIRED reading (well, not by law - but it should be!) for everyone counting calories, going to weight loss groups, or just wondering what in the name of the Lord happened to their waist and how the hell their knees ended up like that.
If you can store loose change under your breasts, are forced to wear knickers that are big enough to parachute down from a great height, or get startled by the sight of your reflection, this is the book for you.
A mixture of light-hearted observations and a more serious look at life as an overweight woman, the Handbook includes an exclusive survey and a place to collect your own thoughts and observations.
I hope you enjoy it xx
