Description
From the internationally renowned Fatshionista blogger, a βvulnerable, funny, whip-smartβ 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 weightβas 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 βsecretsβ foisted on us by the media. Instead of conforming to an unrealistic and unnecessary standard, the key to confidenceβand happinessβis 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. Hannah Blank, author of Big, Big Love, calls it, βa delightfully readable way out of our cultureβs unrealistic expectations of body size and appearance.β
βEvery single page of this book contains an AHA! moment. Two Whole CakesΒ is super empowering and fun to readβyou seriously canβt put it down. Iβve read it twice, and Iβm keeping it for my daughter.β βJane Pratt, founding editor ofΒ xoJaneΒ andΒ Sassy
βThis 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 βMarianne Kirby, co-author ofΒ Lessons From the Fat-o-Sphere
