Bon Bons to Yoga Pants

A well written Katie Cross book! Bon Bons to yoga pants was funny, engaging, and, most of all, relatable. Meet Lexie, an overweight girl in her 20s who has always turned to food instead of dealing with her emotions. Her dad died recently, her younger sister is getting married, and there's Bradley, her online crush, who hasn't seen anything but her face yet. Until he invites himself as her date for her sister's wedding. Lexie doesn't have a choice; along with her aunt, she signs up for a weekly meeting with a health group. She needs to lose weight; she has 6 months.

Thanks to her aunt, her new friend Me, and the Health and Happiness Society, she will learn so much more than how to count calories and her journey. We either all have been Lexie, or we know a Lexie. Either way, during her journey, we feel her emotions. Desperation, embarrassment, motivation, determination, and pride. Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone, but especially those who struggle with losing weight and emotional eating!
