Meet 30-something Bridget Jones, a single woman who is certain she would know the answers if she could:
a. shed seven pounds b. give up smoking c. find your inner potion
"129 pounds—how can one gain four pounds in the middle of the night? Is it possible that the flesh solidified, becoming heavier and denser? The idea is disgusting and terrifying. There are four units of booze (very good), twenty-one smokes (bad but I'll give them up tomorrow), and two accurate lottery numbers (better but still ineffective).
The laugh-out-loud, painfully self-aware daily chronicle of Bridget Jones' permanent, futile quest for self-improvement, "Bridget Jones' Diary" follows her for a year as she makes the following resolutions: learn how to program the VCR, visit the gym three times a week instead of just once to buy a sandwich, and reduce the circumference of each thigh by 1.5 inches.
Bridget loses 72 pounds in total but adds 74 pounds over the course of the year. But she's still hopeful. Like millions of readers worldwide, Bridget will have you in stitches throughout, and you'll find yourself exclaiming, "Bridget Jones is me!"
