The Fun of Getting Thin: How to Be Happy and Reduce the Waist Line

"The Fun of Getting Thin: How to Be Happy and Reduce the Waist Line" by Samuel G. Blythe is a motivational guide from 1912 about weight loss and feeling good. The book talks about one man's fight with being overweight and how he managed to get healthier by using willpower and controlling himself. He talks about how he tried different diets and exercises that didn't really work. When he weighed 247 pounds, he realized he needed to make a real change. He started eating way less food, stopped drinking alcohol, but still enjoyed different kinds of food, just not as much. Over time, he dropped over fifty pounds, and he explains how this change not only made him feel physically better but also gave him more energy and helped him think more clearly. He wraps up by saying that losing weight takes work, but it's worth it because it can really change your life.
