Great book for those who gained weight late in life,
My weight problem was always the reverse of what Jeni Starr addresses in this book. I was always slim and never had a problem with being overweight. In 2007 I stopped smoking and gained 30 pounds almost immediately. That didn’t bother me because I was slightly underweight.
But, to my horror, I didn’t stop gaining! I am in my sixties and my active life has slowed down. Now I feel I need to lose weight to look slim and trim as I used to. This has affected every facet of my life! I don’t feel attractive and have discovered that I would rather stay home than go out. I don’t like the way I look!
Jeni’s book is helping me to change the way I see myself. It isn’t easy to make changes in lifestyle, especially at my age, but with people like Jeni and others, I believe I can do it. Attitude is everything here.
First comes the acceptance that Jeni talks about, then…well, get the book and read it for yourself. You won’t be sorry. I am glad I found this book. Plus Size Confidence (The Plus Size Girls Guide to…)

How to be a Plus Sized role model to yourself!,
This book is a little GEM! Going to follow her practical and straight forward suggestions right away.
In my 50 years I have been a chubby teen, a slim Model, and a yo-yo dieter adult who despite exceptional career achievements, still had to ‘be slim’ to feel good about myself. Then I lost the war with thyroid problems over a decade ago, and just have never been able to feel as confident again as I used to. Image and appearance matter to me, and I feel like I failed something very fundamental in life.
It has definitely affected the quality of my life, and has been detrimental to getting any real pleasure in my achievements over the past few years, and lowering my expectations of what I anticipate from the future.
There are definite step-by-step strategies to follow in this book to boost your self image and confidence, no fluff here. Written in doable chunks and not overwhelming. A very straight-forward how to improve your confidence guide with self help exercises and sensible strategies that everyone can follow, not just plus-sized people.
I’m a self help buff from way back, and I can tell immediately from reading this book that if I follow these steps they are effective enough to help turn me around from being the Plus Sized hermit that I have become. I just needed someone to hold my hand at this particular instant in time and take the journey with me for the first few steps – Thanks Jeni!
Haven’t dated for 12 years, so was intrigued to read that the next book coming in the series will be about plus sized dating!

Just what I needed.,
I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life. It has always been something I’ve been ashamed of and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t lose weight. While this book isn’t going to teach you to lose weight, it does something way more valuable! It teaches you to love your body and have confidence in yourself!
One thing I’ve seen time again is that if you can’t love yourself when you are plus sized, even if you lose weight you won’t love yourself like you think you will.
Reading this book has helped me so much. I’ve shifted my mind from losing weight to striving for health and happiness. This book may be $0.99, but the confidence you will gain by reading it is priceless. You are awesome Jeni!
