Life got better when I was fat -- I wasn't a fat kid -- but I graduated kindergarten with body-image issues -- I don't want to kill myself when I look in the mirror (anymore) -- "Fat" girls have eating disorders, too -- PCOS didn't make me this fat -- Americans aren't the worst of the fat-shamers -- Losing 100 pounds didn't make me happy -- Being fetishized isn't flattering -- I do it with the lights on -- Feminism is my favorite f-word -- Body-positivity doesn't promote obesity.

"From the star of the TLC reality TV show My Big Fat Fabulous Life comes an empowering memoir about letting go of your limitations and living the life you deserve. Whitney Way Thore stands five feet two and weighs well over 300 pounds, and she is totally, completely, and truly happy. But she wasn't always the vivacious, confident woman you see on TV. Growing up as a dancer, Whitney felt the pressure to be thin, a desire that grew into an obsession as she got older. From developing an eating disorder as a teenager, to extreme weight gain in college, to her ongoing struggle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Whitney reveals her fight to overcome the darkest moments in her life. She opens up about the depths of her depression as well as her resilience in the face of constant harassment and mistreatment. Whitney shares the steps she took and the powerful message behind her No Body Shame campaign. How Whitney finally discovered her fabulousness when she stepped off the scale and into her life, embracing herself unconditionally"--Provided by publisher.
