Product Description:
As an endurance athlete with a lifelong weight problem, Jayne Williams struggles daily with the complex and powerful lures of food. Truly dedicated to working out, to having "the wind in my hair as I hurtle my bicycle around the backroads," Williams is nonetheless far from immune to the dark pull of exercise as penance for culinary sins committed, or about to be committed.
I Need This Donut (To Fuel My Workout) dissects this always chronic, sometimes comic, often desperate conflict between the discipline of the triathlete and the hedonism of the fat girl. In a world where most of us have more resources for healthy living than you can shake a stick at, but we just keep getting fatter and fatter, the author's exploration is supremely timely, about as universal as they come, excruciatingly honest, and a rollicking good read.
Summary: If you need inspiration this is a Must Read!
Rating: 5
Jayne does it again! An entertaining guide filled with inspiration to leave the couch behind. Great tools to help you battle the negative thoughts that can sabotage your goals. If you're a gal (or guy) starting out, or in need of some new focus this book is a great starting point. Make sure you also check out her first book Slow Fat Triathlete: Live Your Athletic Dreams in the Body You Have Now She did a triathlon, I've done a triathlon, wouldn't you like to do a triathlon too?
Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Rating: 5
As an overweight imperfect athlete, it is awesome to see another imperfect athlete out there campaigning for the rest of us. Jayne has a dynamic writing style that uses humor and reality to illustrate the emotions, thoughts, and obstacles that many of us face while training for our events. This book, and the previous book, brings the SFT (slow fat triathlete) out of the donut-shop and onto the field! Whether you are an endurance athlete, an aspiring athlete, or a Wii-athlete, Jayne's books will give you inspiration and hours of laughter! Perhaps if many more of us overweight, imperfect athletes band together - the clothing companies will see that not all of us fit into the extra-skinny clothing and they will actually make work out clothing for the rest of us! THANKS JAYNE!
