{"product_id":"i-named-my-bellyfat-charlene","title":"I Named My Bellyfat Charlene","description":"\"Bridget Jones meets Dumplin' in this laugh-out-loud, body-positive diary novel about learning to love your flaws—and the sassy sidekick living right above your waistband.\"\nWhat if your most troublesome body part could talk?\nFor Ell, a successful computer programmer who solves her coding bugs with comfort food, life is relatively cozy. She has a great job and a loving, food-obsessed partner who cooks like a chef. But when her best friend dares her to wear a bikini to a public bar, Ell is thrown into a complete tailspin.\nThe panic of baring it all awakens a whole new personality: Charlene.\nCharlene is the belly fat that’s been tagging along for years, and she is finally ready for her starring role. Sassy, unapologetic, and loudly opinionated, Charlene has been there through every late-night ice cream binge and awkward HR meeting.\nWritten in a hilarious, relatable diary format, Ell's troubleshooting mission includes: The Dress Code Dilemma: Navigating business-casual minefields where her \"girls\" violate company policy simply by existing. The Diet Disasters: Surviving toxic gym assessments with hunky-but-shallow trainers. The Sacred Ritual: Embracing the absolute necessity of unbuttoning her jeans immediately after dinner.\nBetween a partner who expresses love through carbohydrates and a best friend fighting her own hidden insecurities, Ell must decide if she’s ready to stop hiding in oversized black clothes. She soon realizes that \"fixing\" herself isn't a matter of spreadsheets or calorie counts—it's a matter of self-respect.\nI Named My Bellyfat Charlene is a heartfelt, witty love letter to every woman who has ever felt like her body was the punchline.\nScroll up and click \"Buy Now\" to meet Charlene today!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1969564261\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1969564261.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McFarlane, Louanne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
