Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness by Darlene Schacht, Candace Cameron Bure
2.0
Pro: I admire that Candace embraces her faith and shares her testimony. You can hear how excited she is about God in her writing.
Like others, I was hoping this would be a memoir about her Full House years, and it wasn't.
Con: Her message doesn't work very well in a weight loss book. If you pray and display self control through eating less and exercise, you'll be successful is her message.
It comes across as moderately preachy. I know she doesn't want to come across that way, but it does.
The yoga part had me LOLing. Now I don't like yoga. Mainly because I can't meditate well. I personally prefer Pilates to yoga. However, her reason is kind of crazy. She thinks yoga leads you astray spiritually. Really!!??
There was some women as a "helpmate" to men references that thankfully didn't get explored more. The few that I read were cringe worthy.
The fan letters she had in the book were eye-roll inducing. Most of these letters gushed over her. She could have cut out the gush.
As far as tangible weight loss tips, I came out with sparingly few.
