About this ebook

“A buoyant, funny, and immensely likable romp—[a memoir] for readers of all sizes.” —People

At just twenty-three years old, Shauna Reid weighed 351 pounds. Spurred into action by the sight of her enormous white knickers billowing on the clothesline, she created the hugely successful blog “The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl.” Hiding behind her Lycra-clad, roly-poly alter-ego, her transformation from couch potato to svelte goddess began.

Today, eight thousand miles, seven years, and 175 pounds later, the gloriously gorgeous Shauna is literally half the woman she used to be. Hysterically funny and heart-wrenchingly honest, The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl includes travel tales from Australia to Paris to Red Square, plus romance when she meets the man of her dreams in a Scottish pub. This is the uplifting true story of a young woman who defeated her demons and conquered her cravings to become a real-life superhero to inspire us all.

“Bookstores are fat with diet tales, but Reid’s stands out. She’s an entertaining, endearing writer—funny, humble, honest, wise, and best of all, compassionate.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

wish this book was available in an audiobook. it's such a great story! I've read this book a couple of times in my life when I've felt at my worst and it helps me feel like there's hope.

As I sat to read this book I’d only read the title and saw the color of the cover and decided this was worth a try. I flipped through seeing much of my life emblazoned on it’s pages, time passed as I stayed clinging to every word, the writer was me! But then I arrived to page 37 and tears began to fall because not only was I seeing my life but I saw my name, this was not only a phenomenal read but a therapeutic one. From one Shawnna to the next, Thank You.
