What at first appears to be a tiny
quaint bedside table book of witty
quips and inspirational mantras is any-
thing but. When You Eat
at the Refrigerator, Pull
Up a Chair: 50 Ways to
Feel Thin, Gorgeous, and
Happy (When You Feel
Anything But), by
Geneen Roth
(Hyperion; $15.95), is
big and bold.
An anti-diet rhetoric,
Pull Up a Chair tackles
the issue of weight con-
sciousness from a "been
Geneen Roth
there, done that" perspec-
tive. Geneen Roth offers
her personal experiences and insights
from a lifetime of fluctuating between
bingeing and diet obsessions in a way
that is neither haughty nor preachy.
In lieu of typical diet guru advice,
Roth explores the psychological and
societal reasons behind women's obses-
sion with body image. This book isn't
only for those with weight problems,
though. In exploring the companion
emotions to "feeling fat," such as "feel-
ings of being incompetent, unattrac-
tive, unworthy, out of control, value-
less (and)
invisible," Roth speaks to every
woman struggling to accept herself.
Pull Up a Chair is brimming with
humorous anecdotes and rational
insight. Primarily, Roth addresses the
reality that fashion
magazines and diet
gurus don't: Every
woman is different
and the natural state
of our bodies is a dif-
ference to revel in, not
fight against.
Roth often points
out the obvious and, in
doing so, provides truly
refreshing little steps
toward winning the war
with weight. In the
chapter "Remember That Thin People
Have Cellulite, Get Old and Die," Roth
lets readers in on the bigger picture.
In "Remind Yourself That It's
Already Broken," she delves further
into this idea, suggesting the outlook
that a body is like a new car: Once it's
off the lot, it's not new anymore.
According to Roth, the same goes for
bodies. Their eventual state is "already
broken." The point: Appreciate what
you have while it's still around.
This type of outlook is a radical
