Description

From the internationally renowned Fatshionista blogger, a β€œvulnerable, funny, whip-smart” celebration of fat acceptance and body confidence (Hanne Blank).

From Photoshopped pictures to food-shaming to the latest crop of diet fads, our culture is obsessed with weightβ€”as in, the less of it the better. In this spirited book based on the popular blog of the same name, Lesley Kinzel urges readers to do away with calorie-counting, cutting carbs, and all of the diet β€œsecrets” foisted on us by the media. Instead of conforming to an unrealistic and unnecessary standard, the key to confidenceβ€”and happinessβ€”is to learn to love the body you have, no matter what shape you are.

Full of personal observations, enthusiastic encouragement, and straightforward advice, this is the non-diet book for everyone who wants to enjoy life at any size. Hanne Blank, author ofΒ Big, Big Love, calls it, β€œa delightfully readable way out of our culture’s unrealistic expectations of body size and appearance.”

β€œEvery single page of this book contains an AHA! moment.Β Two Whole CakesΒ is super empowering and fun to readβ€”you seriously can’t put it down. I’ve read it twice, and I’m keeping it for my daughter.” β€”Jane Pratt, founding editor ofΒ xoJaneΒ andΒ Sassy

β€œThis accessible blend of memoir and cultural theory is a lifeline and a love letter; one is better off in the world for having read it.” β€”Marianne Kirby, co-author ofΒ Lessons From the Fat-o-Sphere
