Book Overview
Jackie Guerra has loved, lost, and lived enough for several lifetimes. In this inspiring and outspoken memoir, she shares her recipe for building a successful life-and appreciating it-and presents a down-to-earth approach that shows readers how to make the most of their lives. LISTEN TO JACKIE! Approach life like you're making a movie: write the script, choose your own co-stars, and direct the action. Don't put yourself on hold until you lose weight/get a boyfriend/graduate-get out and do something now! What are you "weighting" for?!!? Never say diet! Be careful of making rash decisions when you're emotionally hungry. Make a difference in your life by making a difference in your community. Walk into a room like you're Elvis and own it-because, baby, you're a star! She's been to hell and back-and she has a lot more to say than how hot it was.

This is a must read for ALL women who have ever felt inadequate, even for a minute. Despite being 150 pounds overweight, Jackie got herself a wonderful man and starring roles in film and television, and I'm talking real roles not those of the fat girl people make fun of. It makes me feel ashamed that I haven't gone shopping or fixed myself up in a year since gaining 30 pounds. Well no more thanks to Jackie! Under Construction is the most engaging tale I've ever read of the plight of womanhood. From our relationships with our parents to the need to be accepted, Jackie teaches us through her own stories and the lessons she's learned from her mistakes. Well now she's 150 pounds lighter and GORGEOUS! She's an inspiration to us all.
