4.0

Two woman Daphne and Alice are struggling with their weight they decide to attend a month long live in mansion in Vermont for a weight loss program called Waisted. Waisted is described as a healthy weight loss program with psychologists to help them understand why they eat. Daphne a mother and a make up artist was very thin when she married her husband, after being a pregnant and having her daughter years ago she’s never lost the weight. To her dismay her husband and her mother seem to team up against her when ever she puts anything in her mouth to eat. To save her marriage she decides to give Waisted a try not only for her marriage but to make her own mother and daughter happy. Alice whose always been picked on by her mother since she was child about her weight, struggles every day she constantly hears hers mothers voice every time she eats. Alice is the head of a children’s community center and she wants to try to lose weight but she keeps gaining. Alice and Daphne meet at Waisted. Soon after their arrival their shocked to discover that the program was a lie. Their going to be filmed for a documentary, their counselors are cruel they are demeaning they keep food from them. Soon Alice and Daphne decide they must figure out a way to leave. This novel was not at all what I expected. It deals with a ton of social issues and how girls are and woman are constantly scrutinized for their weight and their looks. It’s hard to accept your flaws when magazine and online social media and movies are saying that skinny is perfect. I admire the woman in this book how they look within for strength and I found this book to be inspiring and applaud every woman out their we are all beautiful!
