Well...this was a book I needed to read. I needed to read this one for me, and I needed to read this one to challenge me.
For so long, I have fed myself the narrative that my body is bad because it's fat. My body is bad because it doesn't fi society's expectations of "good." I STILL fall for this narrative.
Aubrey Gordon challenged my beliefs, validated my feelings, and gave me anti-fat biases to challenge in my own life.
I would recommend this a s read for any body.
