About this title

From the Author

"Does the word exercise fill your heart with dread?  Does it conjure up memories of that awful PE teacher you had in third grade or that step aerobics class that almost killed you?  Well then friend, it's time to come and work out with ME!  Because honey, The Fat Chick knows how to have fun while she's working up a sweat!"
--Jeanette DePatie, AKA The Fat Chick

Ms. DePatie earned a Masters Degree in Opera Performance from Washington University. Upon graduation Ms. DePatie learned two important lessons: 1) she likes to eat and 2) opera singing really doesn't pay enough to buy groceries. Ms. DePatie took advantage of the wild optimism of the nineties and helped found a computer company. This company did very well and served as the market leader in its segment. In 2002, Jeanette heard the siren call of Hollywood and moved to Southern California. Her parents are a little worried that her work with the "major Hollywood studios" has made her "too big for her britches." The Fat Chick assures them, that since the dawn of spandex, her britches fit just fine, thank you VERY much. Jeanette lives somewhere in sunny Southern California with her husband, Brian and her dog, Max.
