Skinny Bitch

So while I've been spending the majority of my time in bed or on the couch the past few days, I've been reading "Skinny Bitch", a book recommended by a friend. I purchased the book just a few days ago. Always having been interested in nutrition, I thought, what the heck, I might as well see what all the fuss is about.

The first few chapters had me giggling about the very straightforward manner that the authors write in. It's no nonsense and hysterical because of that. It's bossy, there's swear words, but it's damn good information. However, having grown up with a nutritionally-conscious mother, I knew most of the information that they presented in the beginning chapters. Fresh facts with a fresh perspective kept me intrigued.

Then we get to the tough stuff: they try to convince you to be vegan. Are these women persuasive? Hell yeah. But I just don't think I have the time, energy, skills, or patience to turn my eating habits around to that extent. Oh, and I really don't think the BF would love his BBQ chicken to be replaced with brussel sprouts.

Am I going to finish the book? Absolutely. Did I learn a lot? Of course. And yes, there are non-vegan topics in this book that I will attempt to adopt into my life. If you're considering reading this book, I would. It's an easy read and an experience, even if you don't agree with everything they are pushing.

Oh, and today I am thankful for the wisdom that comes with age. Looking at my 17 year old sister makes me appreciate how much I've matured in just a few short years.
