Dear Diary, — Decided to write book today. — Thought am good writer, am smart gal, have interesting sex-filled (lie) life. — Thought can write about men, life, love, family, food, sex, and fat assedness. — Thought can share stories with tiny-butted and big-butted alike. — Can tell people why fat, why (was) cokehead, why traffic jams and herbal lax...  more »

There was once a girl named Kirstie Lou.

She dreamed that one day she would be a huge star. So she worked hard to achieve her dream--never suspecting just how huge she would one day become.

This is the story of her Tiny-Butted then Big-Butted then Tiny-Butted life...with true tales of men, mischief, loss, cocaine, suede pants, religion, chicken and noodles and family, all thrown into the pie.

Buon Apetito!

Alley's accounting gives readers and intimate look into her life while providing a hilarious view of being overweight in a skinny-obsessed world. Whether readers are struggling with weight or personal integrity - or if they're just looking for love and happiness - they'll identify with Alley's experiences. She tells it like it is and helps us laugh at ourselves (and others.)

I love Kirstie and was actually surprised to find out that she had written a book. It's a comical take on her life and the reasons for her lack of will power with her weight. Sometimes this book surprised me with the harsh, lewd comments, but it definitely let Kirstie's personality come through. It definitely is NOT a "How to lose weight" book, but more of an autobiography on her struggles with weight. It's a quick read and very enjoyable.

Neither memoir nor humor nor diet book, this odd duck is a compilation of vignettes from Alley's childhood and musings about her weight, kids, and body image.

Good book if you're a Kirstie fan. Funny and sometimes lewd, she does have a unique sense of humor!
