Review: Our Lady of Weight Loss by Janice Taylor
I had absolutely no interest in this book until I was asked by Head Mommy to review it. I’m sure glad she asked. This book is filled with wonderful stories, insights, recipes, crafts, and forgiveness quips for yourself so you can move past your “I gotta eat this” mistakes. I’m surprised it’s not a bestseller.
It was published in 2006, and although I saw it here and there in book club fliers, etc., it just never interested me. The cover picture put me off a tad because it looks kinda creepy with the cut & paste thing going on, and since I’m not Catholic, I judged it by it’s cover and we know how that always work out.
I got a cup of coffee, sat down and perused, read and laughed out loud. One of the funny things is when the author says she finally gets a Costco club card and walks past all the nuts, candies, and ice creams, then proceeds to buy a forty-count box of Rice Krispies Treats – her favorite, then calls this insanity. I’ve had those moments too, so I related.
I highly recommend this book for anyone embarking on a weight-loss program.
for a change, it would be nice to include this book in my Organic & Natural Health blog.
Yeah her website is super cute too! I signed up for her newsletter to get some tips!
The book cover is certainly inventive with the whole Mary innuendo.
Weight loss is a lifestyle, and making the choice daily to eat better can be challenging. However, I have found the longer you keep your commitment the easier it is to say no so the once familiar delectable treats. My journey of weight loss is posted on Having It All
Thanks for visiting Miscellaneous Matters
Sounds like a funny book. Who couldn’t use a laugh when they’re trying to lose weight?

Hi, thanks for introducing this book to everyone. I also thought this book was not worth it but after you said this book is good, I think i will try to find the book and read it by myself.
Janice spoke a lot of informative things, personally I like her crafts and how she mentioned her secrets in that book.
haha i understand you… if i saw a book that had a cover like that, i sure wouldnt have picked it up. i guess its best to never ‘judge a book by its cover’.

I haven’t seen the book, but the writer sounds funny I am fairly interested in reading it now and see if she can help me lose weight! inspiration always a good thing.
Our Lady of Weight Loss book is so hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing for like 10 minutes. Very nice read and I recommend it to everyone!
I wouldn’t as a rule comment on a blog however I liked your post so I was forced to do so. Veering in a slightly different direction from the subject somewhat, what are your thoughts concerning walking? It is these days being showcased as the best exercise to burn fat.
I have read this book before, it is cool.
