The title says it all--funny, original and wise

I'm not much of a dieter, and let's face it, my relationship with food has been rocky at times. And I just don't like self-help books that preach at me to mend my ways. But this colorful, lighthearted, honest and entertaining look at how to eat and live well isn't like a diet book--every page puts a smile on my face. The recipes are great--we've become hooked on kale (now that's miraculous).

Not Just for Dieters

I have been an avid reader of Janice Taylor's Kick in the Tush Club e-newsletter for ages, and I'm thrilled her book is finally available! Her advice is warm, wise, and witty; her recipes are a snap to make even for the culinarily-challenged; and her art projects are so simple they can fit any busy person's day. My favorite? The Weighty Bookmark. Our Lady of Weight Loss transforms eating healthfully from a chore into an artistic statement.

Just what us creative types need to get motivated!

I'm a very artsy person and I've never been able to relate to straight-laced dieting/healthy lifestyle books. Thank God for *Our Lady* - all the ideas within the covers are presented so uplifting and entertaining that you can't help but have fun on your journey to slimville. Janice Taylor presents all of this valuable information in a yummy, lip smacking, hard-to-resist package, and I think combining the self-empowerment craft projects with the nutritional info is pure genius! Graditude girdle? Sign me up!! Finally, after reading this book I feel like I CAN REALLY DO IT!! Thank you Janice!

WOW!

A "lite" way to start your day! I love Our Lady Of Weight Loss - she inspires me to eat right and have fun with life! (It's) the perfect combination of a lite-hearted way to shed the pounds plus cheecky recipes and advice. She's smart and funny and Ioveable. Five stars for Our Lady!

Bowing to Our Lady of Weight Loss!

Janice Taylor has written a book that *every* women needs--because although it's about weight and healthy eating, it's also about self-care, self-love and positive living (and don't all women need this?). It's about putting healthy, loving morsels into your mouth, not about beating yourself up when you don't. Her artwork, her humor, her message "of course you can do it!" and when you can't "confess and move on" ...are highly original and make you smile. I showed my office of 7 women this book, and everyone, all generations, laughed out loud and instantly loved the artwork, information, and attitude. She has fabulous rituals, recipes, motivational musings, art projects and assignments (make art about food instead of eating it!), and lots more. It has the nuts and bolts of dieting and healthy eating, but it has much more: her unrelenting belief that we all can change our life; her personal, inspiring story; and a humorous, creative approach in a normally droll topic. It's on my nightstand. (And her "Ten Commandments of Permanent Fat Removal" you just might to put on your kitchen wall!)
