Hooray for Bountiful Women!
Bountiful Women is an uplifing, delightful book to read. Each page is full of practical as well as spiritual advice about how to live life to its fullest today. I recommend it for all women who are sick and tired of waiting for a thinner tomorrow in order for their lives to begin. Today is the day!Compared to most self help authors who push a "lose weight now, ask me how" approach, Dr. Bernell is as refreshing as a cool glass of sparkling water on a hot desert day. She makes size acceptance not only understandable, but doable, too. Every plus-size woman should own this book.

LIKE A CHAT WITH WISE FRIENDS
This an upbeat, inspiring, practical, spiritual, warm and supportive book. Reading it felt like sitting around a table with a bunch of my closest friends, talking about life. This book is full of short pieces on how large women successfully cope -- and thrive -- in a world made for medium-sized people. It is about how to reclaim your power if you are a women in one of the few remaining okay-to-discriminate-against groups -- fat people. Happily, Ms. Bernell is not a complainer nor is she stridently waving a flag. She is encouraging women to be aware of who they are and to live their lives in a free, bountiful way starting right this minute! It is an easy, fast read with pleasant whimsical sketches and framing on some of the pages. Let's face it -- this book is a whole experience!!! I recommend it highly!

A Fantastic Therapy Session!
Bonnie Bernell uses her own experiences as well as those of other "bountiful" women to provide readers with the ammunition to live their lives to the fullest. Her manner is gentle and caring as she addresses issues that we as women of size face on a daily basis from the "meaningful" parents who berate us for our size to the airplane seat that is too narrow to finding Mr. Right. Ms. Bernell's advice is reasonable as well as doable. After reading Bountiful Women, I felt as though I had undergone a much needed but extremely inexpensive therapy session! I recommend that all large women and the people who love them treat themselves to Ms. Bernell's "secrets." It is a book that you will pick up again and again for inspiration and encouragement.
