A book worth reading

This is a great book for anyone who needs a laugh and has or will experience WLS.

I laughed, I cried & I got motivated!

This is a must read for ALL women who have ever felt inadequate, even for a minute. Despite being 150 pounds overweight, Jackie got herself a wonderful man and starring roles in film and television, and I'm talking real roles not those of the fat girl people make fun of. It makes me feel ashamed that I haven't gone shopping or fixed myself up in a year since gaining 30 pounds. Well no more thanks to Jackie! Under Construction is the most engaging tale I've ever read of the plight of womanhood. From our relationships with our parents to the need to be accepted, Jackie teaches us through her own stories and the lessons she's learned from her mistakes. Well now she's 150 pounds lighter and GORGEOUS! She's an inspiration to us all.
