You Just Need to Lose Weight: And 19 Other Myths about Fat People by Aubrey Gordon

hopeful informative fast-paced

5.0

If you aren’t new to fat activism and you’ve listened to maintenance phase for a long time, none of this will be new to you. This book is an excellent primer for the people in your life who still talk about “feeling fat” or “I don’t want to be fat, but you look fine.” I listened to the audiobook, which Aubrey narrated herself. It was good, but also missing her usual laughter. In particular, I loved how much time she spent uplifting and centering people with more marginalized identities than her own.
