● 內文簡介

擁有20萬支持者的Sharee Samuels,是一位健身教練、健美小姐、人氣網誌作家,更重要的是,她以堅持不懈的毅力減重,成為數以萬計人們的榜樣。我們將從她的故事中,找到自己奮鬥的目標,以及堅持下去的動力。

每次都穿上黑色衣服做運動的Sharee,直言這是為自己的脂肪而穿的喪服。「因為死亡是永恆的,當有些東西死掉,就不會再回來。」《我的脂肪葬禮》(Funeral for My Fat)一書結合她的個人回憶與勵志故事,詳細述說她如何甩掉逾50公斤的肥肉,減輕身體約一半的重量;從一位不快樂的高中生,體重最重超過256磅,最後變成一名有自信、健美、年輕的女性。

作者17歲時,體重已高達256磅,是她人生的最低潮,不僅因為體態被人取笑,身體狀況也受影響,於是她作出決定,在飲食上改以素食為主,每天維持健身運動,並且堅持五年的健身課程,成功減掉100多磅(約50公斤)。她堅持不懈的毅力和正面積極的生活態度,就是她成功減重的關鍵。

作者把她的歷程寫在網誌上,引起許多迴響。從健康、健美到自愛,她的勵志故事和建議幫助無數的人。現在,作者是將自己的激情用在教授健身課程上,包括尊巴健美操(Zumba,基於拉丁舞蹈音樂的有氣健美操),來幫助與鼓勵更多與她面臨同樣過胖問題的人。

在改變的過程中,作者跟隨自己的內在聲音,因這對每個人來說都是很重要的,然後尋找自己的可行方法,善待自己與照顧、尊重自己的身體。
