Book description
In January 2001 Shauna Reid was twenty-three years old and
twenty-five stone. Determined to turn her life around, she created the
hugely successful weblog The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl
and, hiding behind her Lycra-clad roly-poly alter-ego, her
transformation from couch potato to svelte goddess began. Today, 8,000
miles, seven years and twelve-and-a-half stone later, the gloriously
gorgeous Shauna is literally half the woman she used to be.
In turn hysterically funny and heart-wrenchingly honest, The
Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl follows the twists and turns of
Shauna's lard-busting adventure as she curbs the calories and learns
to love the gym. There are travel tales from Red Square to Reykjavik,
plus romance and intrigue as she meets the man of her dreams during a
pub quiz in Glasgow. As her UK visa rapidly runs out, will she be
deported back to Australia or will love triumph?
Entertaining and action-packed, this is the uplifting true story of
a young woman who defeated her demons and conquered her cravings to
become a weight-loss superhero to inspire us all.
Shauna Reid grew up in Australia and currently lives in Scotland. She
enjoys travel, pub quizzes and watching men's tennis. As well as her
'Dietgirl' blog ahe also writes 'What's New Pussycat?'
,
which
has been featured in various newspaper, magazine, TV and radio
publications, including the
Sydney Morning Herald
. Shauna is thirteen stone lighter than she used to be.
