A Book Review

Me, being classed as obese on the fat scale, I couldn't wait to receive Peggy Frezon's book

I've known Peggy for some time through blogging,

she's even hosted Flat George at the New York State Capitol

The book's a down to earth account of losing weight with humour running through it, from the ups and downs of the emotional side and the trigger that started Peggy and Kelly on there goal of weight loss.

 It makes for an inspiring read that I found hard to put down, with some great tips from Peggy, Kelly and Friends for you and your dog to lose weight.

I got the chance to ask Peggy some question's

The book has lots of tips on how to lose weight and keep it off, which is your favorite one 

"Seek out support." Making any change in lifestyle is difficult, but it is so much easier when you share your struggles, surround yourself with positive, encouraging people, and also diet with a friend...even a furry friend!

How did you go about getting a publisher

I write for several national magazines, and also for Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I first published an article in Guideposts magazine about me and Kelly called The Doggy Diet. After I wrote the book, I was lucky enough to find an agent who shopped the book around to publishers. Eventually, I found a publisher who puts out quality pet books, and was thrilled when they took my book. To anyone considering writing a book, my suggestion is to first write an awesome book proposal, and then find a really good agent to represent you.

Has Kelly had any more encounters with reptiles!

I shudder as you ask! Yes, every spring and summer the snakes seem to congregate in our small back yard. Kelly loves to pick them up in her teeth and give them a good shake. It kind of creeps me out

Where you still on the way to losing weight when you started the book, or was it something you decided to write about after your goals had been reached.

I was still about halfway toward my goal when I started the book, which was a great way to do it, because everything was fresh in my mind as I wrote. I still struggle with maintaining the weight loss and realize that is something I will continue to work on forever.



Kelly has played a big part in you losing the weight, but is there a time when she just doesn't want to play ball and go out.

Kelly was basically lazy, because that was our routine together. She didn't really know that there was another way. But now, she lets me know that she can't wait to get moving. She even slaps her paw on the keyboard to get my attention and tell me it's time for a walk!

Thanks Peggy
