            In her debut title, Finished Being Fat, author Betsy Schow claims not to be a role model or an expert on losing weight or running a marathon. However, I found this book to read somewhat like a self-help book. This is actually a good thing and I think it was clever on the part of the author and her publishers, Cedar Fort, to choose January at the release date for this book as many are making goals to get fit and to lose weight.

            Betsy’s tale is realistic as it shows the ups and downs, and seems to portray more downs than ups as she struggles along her journey to lose weight. She inspires readers to find their methodical “thud” and get Finished Being Fat.

            One unique twist to this book is that many books of this type, although inspiring, aren’t completely realistic in that Betsy includes eating right and exercise, but includes that she is not perfect. Many authors of books of these sorts will share how they lost the weight and what they ate, but fail to really talk about their struggle during the process. Rarely do you see these types of books talk about how the subject slipped off the wagon, ate a Krispy Kreme donut and got back on.

            In addition, for those readers who have had added “run a marathon” to their bucket list, this book inspires them to do it and finish it, regardless of how you finish it. At the end of the book, the author gives ten items on her so-called bucket list. With the exception of the weight loss and running a marathon, I’d love to see a follow up book as she achieves the other items on that list.
