Book Review: Skinny Bitch

Skinny Bitch was a book my boyfriend bought for me because he knows I struggle with my weight and am always trying to find something that will stick. He preempted his sending it to me with, "Don't hate me. It's a funny book." I told him that it probably wouldn't work because nothing ever and that I probably wouldn't finish it because I don't have time to read. But, I did finish it.

First off, this book is fucking hilarious. The girls who wrote this book have just as much of a dirty sailor's mouth as I do. I was reading through the first few chapters laughing. It was a little heavy on the organic food stuff that I don't really have the discretionary income to be spending on. As I read along, I soon realized that I was reading a piece of pro-vegan lit. I felt a little duped, but I kept reading.

I have seen the pamphlets passed out by Peta around campus. I've flipped through the little booklets with the pictures of the little cows and pigs sadly staring at the camera all dirty, covered in their own shit with missing hair and cuts. I've seen the malnourished featherless chickens all cramped together in one tiny cage. And, call me a fucking cunt, I never really gave a shit because animals taste like delicious. This book is the first time I have ever read or seen pro-vegan lit and reevaluated what I was eating. They made me feel stupid for not caring and eating meat like there wasn't an issue and there was nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's just the way it was written that finally made me go, "Hmm... Maybe the vegans have a point." I don't think that I'm going to immediately jump on the vegan bandwagon, but I am going to start introducing more vegetarian foods into my diet and more soy stuff (because the chapter on milk made me want to vom) just to try it out.

On a separate note:

My AC in my apartment is dead. It's hot. ): And I went from sweltering apartment to boxing gym that has no AC and worked out for two fucking hours. I worked out until I nearly passed out and then drove home and passed out on the floor for a while, because my bed is covered in stuff. My bed is covered in stuff because I woke up this morning and has some strange urge/ obsession to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom. I'll post pictures when I get it all cleaned up.
