This book took a lot of courage to write as it tells of the author’s journey toward fat acceptance and the various thoughts and experiences along the way. It is honest and affirming, present some ways of thinking that are counter cultural, especially in the church. She addresses fat shaming and how we moralize eating and admonishes the reader to be more fat positive- she also removes the stigma of calling oneself “fat”, emphasizing that it is merely a descriptive word for one’s body. As someone who has been fat for much of my life and grown up in the church, I connected with much of her story and many of the thoughts she had throughout- I appreciated the way she put the experience of being fat in a world that doesn’t embrace it, into clear and succinct words. I think this is a good book for anyone to read as it shares her personal experience and story and will help you better understand a perspective that might be different from your own.
